Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money. Today, we offer conflicting views on the U.S. economy. |
If you're an American worker, you're probably worried about the future of your company. You're also becoming more concerned about the overall U.S. business environment. |
Those are the deteriorating opinions found by Glassdoor, a job site and online work community. In the approximately 70,000 responses that make up its May survey, 44% of workers expressed a positive six-month outlook for their companies—the lowest level recorded in the survey's nearly 10-year history. |
But optimism is rising among investors |
Another survey suggests, however, that Americans may have gotten pretty good at tuning out negative news and predictions, at least when it comes to investing. |
Individuals surveyed by the investment platform Wealthfront continued investing through April, a month of stock market volatility stemming from President Donald Trump's tariffs. |
Prices rose less than expected in May |
Inflation ticked higher in May but was more stable than expected, as another drop in gasoline prices was partly offset by the early effects of Trump's wide-ranging tariffs. |
Consumer prices increased 2.4% from a year earlier, up from a four-year low of 2.3% in the previous month, according to the Labor Department's consumer price index, a measure of average changes in goods and services costs. |
