US Conference Board Consumer Confidence index registered 93.1 for May 2026, narrowly beating the consensus estimate of 91.9. The May reading declined from April's 93.8, marking a 0.7-point decrease month-over-month. This marks the second consecutive monthly decline, with the index remaining below its 12-month rolling average of 93.37. The expectations component contributed most to the overall dip, reflecting increased consumer concerns about future business conditions. Compared to the year-ago level, confidence remains subdued, highlighting persistent caution among US households amid ongoing inflationary pressures.
