Consumer confidence ticks up as gas prices fall but Americans remain gloomy about the economy
Consumer confidence in the U.S. rose slightly in June to 91.2 as gas prices fell to $3.85 per gallon, but the index remains below its year-ago level of 95.2 and below pre-pandemic levels above 120. The improvement follows a spike in gas prices and inflation caused by the Iran war, though Americans continue spending despite a negative economic outlook.
