The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index measures the degree of optimism on the state of the economy that consumers are expressing through their activities of savings and spending. It is a leading indicator as it can predict consumer spending, which plays a major role in overall economic activity. Higher readings typically point to higher consumer optimism and potential for increased retail sales.
The index is based on a monthly survey of about 3,000 households. It assesses current business and employment conditions, as well as expectations for the next six months regarding business, employment, and personal income.
