About this indicator

Source
Conference Board Inc.
Frequency
Monthly
Release
The last Tuesday of each month.
What it is
A consumer confidence indicator produced by the Conference Board that captures US households' assessment of current economic conditions and their expectations for the next six months.
How it's calculated
It is compiled monthly from a survey of a representative sample of households. It blends a present-situation component and an expectations component into a composite index, with a base of 100 in 1985.
Market implications
It reflects shifts in consumer mood and, being released at the end of the month, is a useful leading indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of US GDP. A strong reading tends to support the dollar and equities.
Limitations
The expectations component is heavily influenced by the labour market and petrol prices, so it is best read alongside other data; in addition, each release revises the previous figure and the series can be volatile.
