3月消费者信心下滑，伊朗战争和汽油价格上涨给美国人对美国经济的看法蒙上阴影。
密歇根大学周五发布的3月初步情绪指数显示，消费者信心从2月的56.6点下降5.8%至3月的53.3点。这标志着自2025年12月以来的最低水平。
密歇根大学消费者调查主任乔安妮·许在一份声明中表示，情绪下降在中高收入消费者中更为明显。高收入家庭在股市有更多财富投资，自2月28日伊朗战争爆发以来，股市一直高度波动。标普500指数自那时以来暴跌近6%。
石油和天然气价格也攀升，给美国消费者、送货司机和农民带来财务压力。
美国汽车协会(AAA)的数据显示，截至周五，汽油价格为每加仑3.98美元，自中东冲突爆发以来上涨了1美元。原油价格也有所上涨，国际基准布伦特原油价格上涨1.8%至每桶103.72美元，美国基准西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)上涨3.04%至97.35美元。
美国全国保险公司的金融市场经济学家奥伦·克拉奇金在一份声明中表示：“3月底消费者信心回落，因为家庭感受到汽油价格大幅上涨、股价下跌和不确定性激增的压力。”
调查数据显示，美国人的通胀预期也从2月的3.4%上升至本月的3.8%，这是自2025年4月以来最大的单月增幅。
调查数据与哥伦比亚广播公司新闻最近的民调一致，显示能源价格上涨正在加剧对美国经济的悲观情绪。在接受调查的3335名美国成年人中，85%的人表示他们所在地区的汽油价格一直在上涨。绝大多数(90%)受访者还表示，由于战争，他们预计美国汽油和石油价格短期内会更高。

Consumer confidence tumbled in March as Americans worry about the Iran war’s economic impact
March 27, 2026 / 10:58 AM EDT / CBS News
Consumer confidence slid in March as the Iran war and rising gas prices weighed on Americans’ views of the U.S. economy.
The University of Michigan’s preliminary March sentiment index, released Friday, showed consumer sentiment fell 5.8% from 56.6 points in February to 53.3 in March. That marks the lowest level since December 2025.
The drop in sentiment was more pronounced among middle and high-income consumers, Joanne Hsu, director of the Surveys of Consumers at the University of Michigan, said in a statement. Higher-income households have more wealth invested in the stock market, which has been highly volatile since the Iran war began on Feb. 28. The S&P 500 has slumped almost 6% since then.
Oil and gas prices have also climbed, putting financial strain on U.S. consumers, delivery drivers and farmers.
As of Friday, gas was $3.98, according to AAA, up $1 since the conflict in the Middle East erupted. Crude oil prices were also up, with Brent, the international benchmark, rising 1.8% to $103.72 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. benchmark, rising 3.04% to $97.35.
“Consumer sentiment pulled back in late March as households feel the heat from much higher gasoline prices, lower stock prices and spiking uncertainty,” said Oren Klachkin, financial market economist for Nationwide, in a statement.
The consumer sentiment data showed Americans’ inflation expectations also rose from 3.4% in February to 3.8% this month, the largest one-month increase since April 2025.
The survey data aligns with recent polling from CBS News, which showed that rising energy prices are fueling pessimism about the nation’s economy. Of the 3,335 U.S. adults polled, 85% said gas prices in their area have been going up. The vast majority, 90%, also said they expect U.S. gas and oil prices to be higher in the short term due to the war.
