Lindsey Piegza, Chief Economist at Stifel, discusses the US economic backdrop as consumers maneuver around war-driven, high energy prices.

A measure of expectations for the next six months climbed in April, while a gauge of present conditions ticked lower. The improvement in confidence, despite broader concerns tied to higher costs and war in the Middle East, may reflect a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran and signs of stabilization in the labor market. Hiring rebounded in March and more recent data point to limited layoffs. (Source: Bloomberg)
