consumers confidence: It fell to 121.5 this month from a 131.3 in May, according to Market Watch. That's the lowest level since September 2017. Consumer confidence fell to a two-year low in June, the Conference Board announced this week.

Continued uncertainty could diminish people's confidence in the economic expansion, she added. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
