SUMMARY:US Consumer Confidence November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next US Consumer Confidence: Tuesday\, November 24\, 2026 at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm London). \nDate to be confirmed by the publisher; this is the scheduled date. \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nPrior\n91.2 (June 2026\, historical context only; October 2026 figure not yet verified)\nActual\nPending\n\nFull schedule and background: US Consumer Confidence. \nUpdated September 2\, 2026 \n\n← Previous US Consumer Confidence\nThe Conference Board publishes its US Consumer Confidence Index for November 2026 on Tuesday\, November 24\, 2026\, at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm London). The report gauges how American households feel about the economy\, the labour market and their own finances\, and it is one of the most closely watched sentiment indicators in global markets. Full schedule and background: US Consumer Confidence. \nWhat is the Consumer Confidence Index?\nThe index is built from a monthly survey of around 3\,000 US households\, run by The Conference Board. Respondents answer five questions: how they view current business conditions\, how they view the current job market\, and how they expect business conditions\, the job market and their own household income to look in six months’ time. The first two questions feed a “Present Situation” sub-index\, while the last three form an “Expectations” sub-index. \nMarkets watch the headline number because consumer spending drives roughly two-thirds of US economic output. A rising index suggests households feel comfortable enough to keep spending on cars\, holidays and big-ticket items. A falling index\, particularly a sharp drop in the expectations component\, has historically been an early warning sign of a slowdown\, since it reflects how people feel about jobs and income before that shows up in hard spending data. \nThe index is not a survey of what people are actually doing\, but of what they expect to do. That makes it a leading indicator rather than a hard measure of activity\, and it can move sharply on news events such as tariff announcements\, stock market swings or petrol price changes\, even before those events affect real spending. \nWhen is the November Consumer Confidence Index released?\nThe Conference Board has not yet formally confirmed the exact publication date for the November 2026 report at the time of writing. The Board typically releases this data on the last Tuesday of the reference month\, and November 24\, 2026 follows that usual pattern. The release is published on the Conference Board’s website at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm London)\, alongside a short commentary from the organisation’s chief economist. \nWhat is the consensus forecast?\nA consensus forecast for the November 2026 reading has not yet been published by major polling services such as Reuters or Bloomberg; these polls are typically compiled in the days immediately before release. The most recent verified reading available at the time of writing comes from The Conference Board’s own commentary\, which reported the index falling to 91.2 in June 2026\, down from a prior reading of 93.1\, and below the 94.4 figure that economists had expected\, according to TrendForce DataTrack’s summary of Conference Board data. \n\n\n\nMeasure\nPrior (June 2026)\nConsensus (November 2026)\n\n\n\n\nHeadline Consumer Confidence Index\n91.2\nNot yet published\n\n\nPresent Situation Index\nNot independently verified\nNot yet published\n\n\nExpectations Index\nNot independently verified\nNot yet published\n\n\n\nReaders should treat the June 2026 figures above as historical context rather than the immediate prior reading for this release. The October 2026 print\, which is the true prior for this November report\, should be checked directly against The Conference Board’s official release once published. \nWhat the result could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nWhat it means in plain English\n\n\n\n\nAbove consensus\nRead as a sign households feel more secure\, which can support equities and the dollar\, and may reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut rates quickly\nPeople feel more confident about jobs and spending\, which can mean a stronger economy but also stickier inflation\n\n\nIn line with consensus\nLimited market reaction expected\, since the number confirms the trend investors already priced in\nThe economy is behaving broadly as expected\, so little changes for borrowers or savers immediately\n\n\nBelow consensus\nOften seen as a warning sign for consumer spending\, which can weigh on stocks and add to expectations of rate cuts\nHouseholds are worried about jobs or prices\, which can foreshadow weaker spending and slower growth ahead\n\n\n\nThese are possibilities discussed by analysts around similar releases\, not predictions of what will happen in November 2026. \nWhy does this release matter right now?\nConsumer sentiment has been unusually volatile through 2026\, with the Conference Board’s index swinging as households weighed tariff policy\, sticky grocery and housing costs\, and a labour market that has cooled from its post-pandemic highs. The June 2026 drop to 91.2\, below both the prior month and economists’ expectations\, according to Conference Board data compiled by TrendForce\, illustrated how quickly sentiment can shift when households worry about job security or prices. \nThe Federal Reserve does not target consumer confidence directly\, but policymakers watch it as one signal among many on the health of household spending\, which underpins the broader US growth outlook. A sustained decline in confidence\, especially in the expectations component\, tends to raise the odds that officials discuss interest rate cuts sooner rather than later\, while a rebound can ease those calls. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nMortgages and borrowing: if confidence weakens sharply\, investors often raise bets on future Federal Reserve rate cuts\, which can pull down long-term borrowing costs\, including US mortgage rates\, over time. A stronger reading can do the opposite. \nSavings: the direction of expected interest rate moves influences savings account and certificate of deposit rates in the US\, and can spill over into UK and euro area rate expectations too\, since global bond markets are closely linked. \nJobs and wages: the survey’s questions on the job market are watched by economists as an early signal of how workers feel about job security\, which can precede changes in hiring\, quits and wage growth. \nPrices: confidence readings that flag rising price worries can be an early hint of inflation expectations creeping up\, which the Fed watches closely when setting policy. \nInvestments\, pensions and currencies: a weak reading can unsettle US equities and\, by extension\, global pension funds and index-tracking investments held by UK and European savers. Moves in US rate expectations also ripple through to the dollar\, the pound and the euro\, affecting the cost of imports and holidays abroad. \nRelated events\n\nPrevious reading: US Consumer Confidence\, October 2026\nUniversity of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey\, a separate but related US sentiment gauge released mid-month\nUS nonfarm payrolls and jobless claims data\, which often move alongside consumer confidence trends\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat time is the November Consumer Confidence Index released?\nThe Conference Board publishes the report at 10:00 am ET\, which is 3:00 pm in London\, on November 24\, 2026. \nHow should I read the Consumer Confidence Index?\nA rising number means households feel more optimistic about the economy and jobs; a falling number signals growing worry\, particularly if the expectations component drops sharply. \nDoes this report move interest rate expectations?\nYes\, though indirectly. The Federal Reserve considers consumer sentiment as one input among many when assessing the strength of household spending and the broader economy. \nWhere can I find the official release?\nThe Conference Board publishes the full report\, including sub-indices and regional breakdowns\, on its own website on release day. \nWhen is the next Consumer Confidence report?\nThe following report typically covers December 2026 data and is expected around the last Tuesday of December\, following the Conference Board’s usual monthly schedule. \n← Previous US Consumer Confidence
