The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index slipped to 94.6 in October 2025, the weakest since April, as Americans grew more anxious about job availability and inflation. The share of respondents saying jobs are ‘plentiful’ fell, while those calling them ‘hard to get’ rose sharply. Economists note that households earning under $75,000 showed the steepest drop in optimism. The soft data could push the Federal Reserve closer to rate cuts if inflation stabilises and labour-market conditions continue to weaken in coming months.
