The Conference Board recently reported a decline in consumer confidence in April, marking its lowest level since July 2022.

This shift in consumer sentiment could have implications for the market going forward.
The U.S. Dollar Index closed near 105.85 after the release of the CB Consumer Confidence report. While this report may impact the U.S. dollar, traders are keeping a close eye on the upcoming Fed Interest Rate Decision set to be released tomorrow. The Fed’s decision could have a significant impact on market dynamics.
Meanwhile, gold is seeing a downward trend as it attempts to settle below $2300 amidst a sell-off in the precious metals market. Despite the CB Consumer Confidence data, gold traders are more focused on concerns about a potentially hawkish Fed.
In terms of the stock market, the S&P 500 closed near 5110 following the release of the CB Consumer Confidence report.
