Consumer sentiment in the United States improved modestly in November, according to the latest Michigan Consumer Expectations data released on 6 November 2026. The expectations index rose to 50.9 in November 2026, up from 48.8 in October 2026.
The uptick suggests that U.S. households have become slightly more optimistic about the economic outlook compared with the previous month. While the index remains at relatively low levels, the move above October’s reading indicates a tentative strengthening in expectations as the year heads into its final months.
