U.S. consumer confidence continued its sharp 2025 decline as Americans' views about their financial futures fell to a 12-year low, driven by rising concerns over tariffs and inflation. The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index fell 7.2 points in March to 92.9, the fourth straight monthly decline. The Conference Board's report Tuesday said that the measure of Americans' short-term expectations for income, business and the job market fell 9.6 points to 65.2.
