隨著美國家庭開始感受到新冠疫情導(dǎo)致的經(jīng)濟減速所帶來的影響,作為經(jīng)濟支柱的美國消費者的信心有所下降。
美國經(jīng)濟咨商會的消費者信心指數(shù)顯示,3月份美國消費者信心大幅下滑。周二發(fā)布的美國消費者信心指數(shù)為120,與2月份的132.6和1月份的130.4相比下滑明顯。
美國經(jīng)濟咨商會經(jīng)濟指標部高級主管林恩·弗蘭科在通訊稿中表示:“三月份美國消費者信心指數(shù)的下滑,更符合經(jīng)濟嚴重收縮的表現(xiàn),而不是一種臨時性的沖擊,并且該指數(shù)的進一步下滑肯定會隨之而來?!?/p>
3月份消費者信心指數(shù)降至120,創(chuàng)下了自2017年6月(117.3)以來的最低水平。但盡管在3月份有創(chuàng)紀錄的330萬人申請失業(yè)補助,與2007年 - 2009年大衰退前期、期間或之后相比,消費者對于經(jīng)濟前景依舊更有信心。(財富中文網(wǎng))

American consumers—the backbone of the economy—are feeling less confident as households start to feel the pain of the coronavirus slowdown.
Consumer confidence dropped sharply in March, according to the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index. The index published Tuesday came in at 120, down from 132.6 in February and 130.4 in January.
"March’s decline in confidence is more in line with a severe contraction—rather than a temporary shock—and further declines are sure to follow,” said Lynn Franco, senior director of economic indicators at the Conference Board in its press release.
The Consumer Confidence Index of 120 in March is its lowest reading since June 2017, when it was at 117.3. However, even during a month when unemployment claims hit a record 3.3. million, consumers were still more confident in March than they were entering, during, or following the 2007–2009 Great Recession.
