MAY 27, 2025 – CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AND PCE RELEASE THIS WEEK
The most current consumer confidence numbers will be released later today, while the personal consumption index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, will come out on Friday. This data will help assess the health of the economy and its future prospects. Consumer sentiment has been at record setting lows in the last two readings, as people have become jittery about tariffs. Since the last reading, the government has put a temporary pause on the threatened tariffs, which should lead to an improvement in the data.
The Federal Reserve’s next meeting is set for June 17-18, it is unlikely they will take any action on rates as there remains too much uncertainty in the market.
