Americans are increasingly optimistic about the economy, as indicated by a notable rise in the U.S. consumer confidence index in May, after months of decline. The Conference Board reports that consumer confidence rose more than 12 points from April's five-year low. Factors contributing to this improvement include a recent U.S.-China trade agreement, which temporarily reduces tariffs, alleviating consumer apprehensions. However, potential recession concerns persist, as the expectations index still falls below critical thresholds, signifying the need for cautious optimism moving forward.
