US consumer confidence is collapsing.

The Consumer Confidence Index dropped -6.7 points in September, to 81.9, its lowest since April 2014.

This marks its 4th consecutive monthly decline, totaling -11.2 points.

The Present Situation Index fell -7.9 points, to 109.3, its lowest since February 2021.

At the same time, the Expectations Index fell -5.9 points, to 63.6, its lowest since April 2025, marking its 3rd consecutive monthly decline.

Over the last 6 months, confidence across all age groups and nearly all income groups has declined.

Consumers are also increasingly citing high prices, the cost of goods and services, and oil and gasoline prices as major factors weighing on the economy.

US consumer confidence is at crisis levels.
