Consumer Confidence Dips, but Wealthier Shoppers May Boost Holiday Sales

The latest consumer confidence data from the Conference Board shows a 6-month low, and while it may not be as bad as expected, there's still weakness beneath the surface. Yelena Shulyatyeva joins Diane King Hall to break it down. She says the numbers mask a tale of two consumers: those making $200,000+ are driving stock market-fueled optimism, while those earning $75,000 or less are losing steam. She also warns that the labor market is showing signs of vulnerability, with jobs becoming harder to find, and that a potential tariff shock could still hit consumers during the critical holiday shopping season.
