02:24 PM EDT, 04/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for April was revised higher to 49.8 from the preliminary estimate of 47.6 but was still below March's reading of 53.3.

Michigan said that sentiment declined in April across the political spectrum and inflation expectations remained high despite the two-week cease fire in Iran.

The Kansas City Fed's services index fell to 3 in April from 15 in March. Other regional services data already released have indicated contraction, but the S&P Global flash estimate released earlier in the week showed continued expansion.

The Q1 GDPnow estimate from the St. Louis Fed is for a 2.442% gain, up from a 2.274% increase in the previous week.
