Consumer Sentiment Surges as Inflation Fears Collapse and Tariff Strategy Becomes Clear

John Carney 13 Jun 2025

Consumer sentiment soared in early June, rising for the first time in six months and posting its strongest monthly gain since January 2024, according to preliminary data released Friday by the University of Michigan.

The university’s closely watched index of consumer sentiment jumped to 60.5 in the first half of June, up from 52.2 the prior month—a 16 percent gain that beat every estimate in a Wall Street Journal survey of economists. The expectations sub-index surged more than 21 percent, the biggest one-month gain since late 2023.

The sharp rebound in optimism follows weeks of steady economic data, including soft inflation reports and a series of trade announcements from the Trump administration aimed at restoring long-term stability to U.S. supply chains without reigniting price pressures.

This thread sure aged interestingly.  Seems many don't like to listen.  Ol' Cal Coolidge, might have been on to something,  Treating tariffs like just one tool, instead of its whole strategy as some of what some were screaming?

Guess who said this just a couple years ago 

“As with the inflation numbers, anyone who believes anything from this government is gullible as hell.”

 I’ll check back at some point to see how you explain to us why any economic data, or anything for that matter, should be accepted unquestionably from this administration vs the last

Big difference in an admin, that set the inflation spiral going in day 1 by declaring war on energy,.  From there the dominoes fell.

No, I am not 100% sure that Trump's strategy will work in full.  But I ask and challenge you to read some of Coolidge's papers on the topic of tariffs.  He is the greeterst POTUS in history in the area fiscal sound policy and direction.   Cal did understand the pitfalls, but was very adamant and clear that the process of imposing tariffs, is a tool of adjustment and a tool of strategic negotiations. 

And to the core of your comment......  You believe that Trump is as untrustworthy as Biden?

So you’re going with this to explain away your inconsistency
