Consumer sentiment in the U.S. plunged to a record low of 47.6 in April, dropping 10.7% from March, driven by fears over rising energy prices and the Iran conflict, according to a University of Michigan survey. Inflation expectations also surged to 4.8% for the coming year, the highest since August 2025. The survey noted that many consumers blame the Iran war for economic worries, though optimism may improve following a ceasefire and easing gas prices. This decline coincides with a recent report showing a 0.9% rise in the consumer price index in March, largely due to energy costs.
