US Consumer Sentiment Little Changed in October
In October 2025, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index for the United States reached 55, a slight decrease from September’s 55.1 and slightly above the anticipated figure of 54.2, according to preliminary estimates. The consumer sentiment remained largely stable month-over-month as gains in current personal finances and short-term business prospects were counterbalanced by diminished expectations for future personal finances and present conditions for purchasing durable goods. The subindex that measures current economic conditions rose to 61, compared to 60.4 previously, whereas the expectations index slightly declined to 51.2 from 51.7. Overall, consumers perceive minimal changes in the economic outlook compared to the previous month. Additionally, projections for inflation over the coming year decreased slightly to 4.6% from 4.7%, while long-term inflation expectations remained steady at 3.7%.
