Consumer Confidence Surveys – As Of July 28, 2023

Advisor Perspectives had a post of July 28, 2023 (“Michigan Consumer Sentiment Soars to Highest Level Since October 2021“) that displays the latest Conference Board Consumer Confidence and University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index charts.  They are presented below:

Conference Board Consumer Confidence 117.0

University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index 71.6

While I don’t believe that confidence surveys should be overemphasized, I find these readings and trends to be notable, especially in light of a variety of other highly disconcerting measures highlighted throughout this site.
