The US CB consumer confidence simply shows how much money people intend to spend these days buying goods and services. The more people consume – the more products are sold. As a result, an economy prospers. Obviously, people are going to buy less and save more amid the coronavirus pandemic, especially now when the second virus wave has engulfed most of the US states.
