Consumer confidence fell for the fifth straight month in April , dropping to its lowest level since early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for April came in at a reading of 86 , a significant drop from March 's 92.9 reading.

A reading below 80 in that category signals a recession.
