Despite signs of softening in the US economy, consumer confidence is on the rise, driven by factors such as the successful vaccine rollout and a Brexit trade deal. However, economists remain cautious about challenges ahead, including higher borrowing costs and declining savings. The surge in consumer confidence is seen as a bullish sign for the economy, with strong earnings and positive outlooks from major companies. CEOs also show growing confidence, but concerns about the 2024 US presidential race and increased regulations remain. The US growth story relies heavily on consumer spending, but weak investment and moderation in government spending may dampen price pressures. The personal savings rate has fallen, raising concerns about consumers getting tapped out. Despite positive indicators, there is a divergence between strong growth numbers and the reality experienced by consumers, with leading indicators pointing to a potential consumer crunch. The US economy is showing signs of softening, but inflation continues to run high. #USEconomy #ConsumerConfidence #InvestmentSpending #Inflation...
