Markets pushed lower on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq leading the charge, down around 2%. This move came as U.S. consumer confidence notched its lowest level since 2013, feeding even more fears of a recession.
According to the Conference Board, the consumer confidence index for June fell to 98.7 from 103.2 in May, which was below consensus estimates calling for a print of 100. Last week, the University of Michigan released its consumer sentiment data, which came in at a record low of 50.2. It remains to be seen what will come through the rest of the summer.
The expectations index, which considers consumers’ short-term outlook for income growth, labor market and overall business conditions, fell to 66.4. With the expectations index below 80, consumers are generally expecting weaker growth for the second half of the year, and they might even be considering the potential for recession.
