Report: March Economic Outlook – Sentiment and Economic Challenges, Looking Ahead
In the March U.S. Economic Outlook report, Natalie Gallagher, Principal Economist at Prevedere, explores evolving trends in consumer sentiment as households continue to navigate elevated inflation, a softening labor market, and rising debt levels.
Highlights from her analysis include:
- Consumer sentiment is improving but remains well below pre-COVID levels
- Although inflation has fallen significantly since 2022, a weakening labor market, increased borrowing costs, and rising delinquency rates are likely contributing to subdued sentiment
- Employment and income trends will be critical in determining how consumer spending withstands headwinds from these factors throughout the year
