Show Notes
Consumer sentiment plummeted in March, marking a six-month low, due to the Iran conflict and gas price anxieties. The University of Michigans survey revealed a significant drop across all age groups and political parties, with business conditions and personal finance expectations taking a hit. Inflation concerns surged, particularly over gas prices, which quadrupled in respondents minds.
