Consumer confidence in the US has fallen to its lowest levels since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The University of Michigan's Consumer Surveys published a record low preliminary reading in May. Economists are questioning when consumers will feel better economically after years of rapid price increases. Although inflation rates have decreased on an annual basis, consumers still believe they are facing high prices considering the total price increases over the past few years. This situation is cited as one of the main reasons for the decline in consumer confidence. The succession of economic fluctuations and ongoing geopolitical developments negatively affect consumers' expectations for economic recovery. On the other hand, consumer spending remains lively, and the traditionally observed relationship between consumer confidence and spending has weakened during this period. Experts state that for consumer confidence to recover, economic conditions need to be stable and positive for several quarters. However, current geopolitical risks and trade policies make these expectations difficult to realize.
