US consumer confidence unexpectedly dropped in September on labor market concerns, according to survey data published Tuesday, signaling dampening optimism about the economy as November's presidential election approaches.
That could prove challenging for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris given the economy remains a top issue for voters ahead of the election, in which she is running against Republican former president Donald Trump.
The Conference Board's consumer confidence index fell sharply to 98.7 in September, down from a revised 105.6 last month.
This was well below market expectations, according to Briefing.com.
«The deterioration across the Index's main components likely reflected consumers concerns about the labor market,» despite the jobs market actually remaining quite healthy, The Conference Board's chief economist Dana Peterson said in a statement.
