Fundamentals

United States

Consumer Confidence by the CB

Confidence among consumers in the United States probably improved in December, with the corresponding index coming in at a reading of 94.0 from 88.7 in November. The latter has been the lowest level of confidence since June, when the index was reported at 86.4.

This indicator measures the level of individuals’ confidence in the US economic activity. It is considered as a leading indicator, as it gives an early insight into consumer spending, which accounts for most of the nation’s GDP. Confidence is measured on a scale of -100 to +100. A reading of -100 implies a lack of confidence, while a reading of 100 is indicative of extremely high confidence. Zero values imply neutrality. In case the index improved more than anticipated, this would provide support to the US dollar, as higher confidence suggests a greater willingness to spend and, respectively, an accelerated economic growth. The Conference Board research group is to publish the official index reading at 15:00 GMT.
