Falling Consumer Confidence May be Signaling Stock Market Drop and a Recession

Falling Consumer Confidence May be Signaling Stock Market Drop and a Recession.  Almost six months ago consumer confidence in the U.S. economy was just about as high as it gets. Then consumer confidence as measured by the Conference Board  dropped amid a big stock market correction and worrisome economic news before rebounding earlier in 2019. Now consumer confidence is the worst in nearly a year.  Why is this so worrisome?    Jason at WWW.Sentimentrader.com illustrates in the chart below that  historically when consumer confidence “on their present condition goes from a multi-year high to the lowest in almost a year,” that has indicated there’s been a peak in “most (economic) cycles, usually leading to a recession.”
