Consumer Sentiment Climbs for First Time in Six Months

The United States saw consumer sentiment rise in June after six months of decline because people became more optimistic about the economy due to reduced inflation and temporary trade peace.

The University of Michigan preliminary sentiment index increased to 60.5 during June after showing 52.2 in May which represented a 16% improvement. The current confidence level stands at 20% below December marks despite the recent increase.

The survey director Joanne Hsu observed that consumers have recovered somewhat from the surprise of April’s extremely high tariffs. She warned that numerous Americans continue to anticipate major negative economic developments.

The aggressive tariff policy implemented by President Donald Trump which targeted China and the EU and other countries created substantial negative impacts on consumer expectations during the first part of the year. The administration delayed multiple planned tariffs while establishing a preliminary agreement with China which reduced concerns about additional trade conflicts.

Households experience ongoing economic uncertainty even though inflation levels stay moderate and job market growth has decreased. The June sentiment data indicates that current policy changes have created temporary relief for consumer confidence.
