The Index of Consumer Expectations focuses on three areas: how consumers view prospects for their own financial situation, how they view prospects for the general economy over the near term, and their view of prospects for the economy over the long term. Each monthly survey contains approximately 50 core questions, each of which tracks a different aspect of consumer attitudes and expectations. The samples for the Surveys of Consumers are statistically designed to be representative of all American households, excluding those in Alaska and Hawaii. Each month, a minimum of 500 interviews are conducted by telephone.

Latest Updates

The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for the US rose to 60.5 in June 2025, up from a near-record low of 52.2 in both May and April, and well above market expectations of 53.5, according to preliminary estimates. This marks the first increase in sentiment in six months, driven by broad-based gains in assessments of current conditions (63.7 vs. 58.9 in May) and future expectations (58.4 vs. 47.9). Despite the rebound, sentiment remains about 20% below its December 2024 level, when consumer confidence received a temporary post-election boost. The persistent drag reflects continued concern over downside risks to the economy, particularly stemming from US tariff policies. Inflation expectations showed notable improvement: year-ahead inflation expectations dropped sharply to 5.1% in June from 6.6% in May, while long-run inflation expectations declined for the second consecutive month, easing to 4.1% from 4.2%.
