California's consumer confidence surged 25% in September, its highest since February 2023, contrasting sharply with a national decline in consumer sentiment.
Golden Staters reported feeling better about the current economy, as the index's present situation measurement jumped 32% in just a month, marking a significant shift in outlook.
While California's consumer confidence reflects optimism, the national confidence index fell 7% in September, unraveling a troubling trend where other states showed no gains.
September's strong performance in California places the consumer confidence index 1% above the average from 2015-2019, revealing a potential return to pre-pandemic normalcy.
