March 2025 consumer sentiment in the U.S. experienced a significant decline, dropping 11% and marking the third consecutive monthly decrease. This drop reflects widespread uncertainty over economic policies and concerns about finances, jobs, inflation, and market stability.

Retail sales saw a modest increase of 3.9% year-over-year yet fell 0.5% month-to-month. The housing market showed signs of a slowdown, with new home sales dropping 10.5% from December.
