US Consumer Confidence Hits 2023 Highs

 

November 26, 2024 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a go-to platform for big investing ideas releases market commentary from Quasar Elizundia, Expert Research Strategist at Pepperstone.

"U.S. consumer confidence, measured by the Conference Board, has shown a significant improvement in November, reaching a level of 111.7, the highest since 2023. This advance marks the second consecutive increase since the September lows, signaling positive momentum for the U.S. economy as the year draws to a close.

Consumption is a cornerstone of U.S. economic growth, as evidenced by the Q3 GDP reading. This renewed consumer confidence arrives just in time for the holiday season, a period traditionally characterized by increased spending. Heightened consumer sentiment could translate into a significant boost for economic activity in the final months of the calendar year.

Despite the improvement in consumer confidence, expectations for a possible interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the end of this year remain largely unchanged. The probability of a 25-basis-point cut stands around 53%, reflecting a market still divided on the next step in monetary policy. However, recent economic data is fueling the narrative that the normalization process could conclude as early as the first half of 2025.

This context will likely have implications for the U.S. dollar. With the possibility that the monetary policy normalization process will be less prolonged, and other economies facing deeper rate cuts, the USD could benefit from a wider rate differential in its favor. This interest rate differential environment could continue to favor the dollar against other global currencies.

In summary, the improvement in U.S. consumer confidence could act as a catalyst for the U.S. economy as 2024 comes to a close, particularly regarding spending during the holiday season. This could ultimately present a favorable economic environment where substantial rate cuts for the coming year may not be required."
