U.S. consumer sentiment edged up in January 2026, driven by lower-income households, despite ongoing inflation and weak job growth.
U.S. consumer sentiment rose slightly to 54 in January 2026, the highest since September 2025, according to the University of Michigan survey, up from 52.9 in December and slightly above expectations.
The gain, driven by improved sentiment among lower-income households, reflected modest easing of concerns over inflation and tariffs, though inflation expectations remained elevated at 4.2%.
Despite a weak labor market with soft hiring and ongoing financial strain from rising prices over the past five years, sentiment remains near historic lows, about 25% below January 2025 levels.
