Resonate Releases Q3 Consumer Trends Forecast
New Data Reveals Deepening Economic Anxiety Among U.S. Consumers, Driving Significant Spending Shifts
RESTON, Va., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Latest data from the Consumer Trends Report released today by Resonate, the leader in AI-powered predictive consumer intelligence, reveals that economic uncertainty is no longer just a hypothetical concern for American households; it is now having a noticeable and growing effect on personal finances and spending habits. The latest data indicates a sharp increase in financial fears and a resurgence of cost-saving behaviors, fundamentally reshaping consumer expectations and purchasing decisions:
Soaring Financial Fears: Worries about a stock market crash surged by 52.6% in the last three months, with over a quarter of Americans (25.5%) now fearing this event. Concerns about a U.S. economic slowdown or recession also dramatically increased by 17.5%, with 46% of consumers expressing worry.
Personal Financial Struggles: The percentage of consumers feeling "somewhat worse off" sharply rose by 24% to 22.2% from March 2025. Consumers who feel the same about their personal finances as six months prior plummeted by 8.5% to 48.1% (from 52.6% in March 2025).
Purchase Delays and Cancellations: Consumers are increasingly postponing or canceling vacations, major household purchases, vehicle acquisitions, and even home sales. This trend extends to subscriptions, with the number of Americans canceling some or all subscriptions rising by 8.6% to 29% in just three months.
Return to Core Cost-Saving Strategies: Time-tested strategies from past inflationary periods are back in force. 48% are opting for cheaper store or alternative brands (a 6% increase), and 36.2% are cutting non-essential purchases (an 8.7% increase).
Politics Influencing Consumers: Politics are increasingly influencing consumer shopping behavior, with 16% of Americans being less inclined to shop with a brand supporting left-leaning groups, while 31% being less inclined to buy from a company openly supporting right-leaning groups, reinforcing the need for brands to understand the psychographic and value-driven nuances of their target audience.
This data underscores the urgent need for businesses to adopt advanced consumer intelligence solutions that provide actionable insights on consumer behavior and intent in order to navigate the turbulent economic landscape effectively.
Resonate's Consumer Trends Report cuts through the noise, delivering essential, data-driven insights into the actual sentiments, motivations, and behaviors of Americans, powered by the most recent predictive data and intelligence.

America's deepest inflation fears are starting to fade
Americans are feeling better about the path forward for inflation. The latest University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey released Friday showed pessimism over the inflation outlook lessened in June, as one-year inflation expectations plunged to 5.1% from the more than four-decade high of 6.6% reached in May. Long-run inflation expectations, which track expectations over the next five to 10 years, also fell, hitting 4.1% in June, down from 4.2% in May. The broader consumer sentiment index rebounded as well, rising to 60.5 in June, above the 52.2 seen in May, which had been one of the lowest readings on record. "Consumers appear to have settled somewhat from the shock of the extremely high tariffs announced in April and the policy volatility seen in the weeks that followed," Survey of Consumers director Joanne Hsu wrote in the release. Our Chart of the Week shows inflation expectations coming off the boil. Put simply, expectations for price increases are more tempered than they were a month ago, but they are still not as optimistic as they were six months ago. But this framing — "better than feared" — is the story of what's brought the S&P 500 (^GSPC) back near all-time highs. Like consumers, investors made peace with these disappointments and welcomed the improvements that followed. Tariffs are still higher than Wall Street expected coming into the year, but not as high as the peak fears seen in April. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates later this year, but not by as much as hoped last year. By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy Strategists are growing more bullish on stocks, though the median S&P 500 target among strategists sits at 6,100, well below the 6,500 seen in December. However, no fewer than 11 Wall Street firms cut their S&P 500 targets as markets sold off in April; at least eight of these firms have since raised their outlooks again. Both groups, consumers and investors, ultimately ask themselves the same two-part question: Are things going well now? And are they getting better or worse? It's the latter that usually moves the needle. Click here for in-depth analysis of the latest stock market news and events moving stock prices Sign in to access your portfolio

Scoop: Every Senate Dem demands Trump withdraw military from Los Angeles
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) led the entire Senate Democratic in writing to President Trump Sunday, demanding he remove all military forces from Los Angeles and cease threats to further deploy troops, Axios has learned. Why it matters: Padilla was physically removed from a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and handcuffed Thursday, triggering a five-alarm fire for Democrats. The letter from Padilla and 46 other Senate Democrats asked Trump to "immediately withdraw all military personnel that have been deployed to Los Angeles in recent day." Trump federalized California's National Guard without the state's consent and mobilized more than 700 Marines to the state to try to quash protests over his mass deportation program. "Respect for our Constitution and for our civilian law enforcement demands nothing less," the Senate Democrats wrote. Driving the news: A federal appeals court on Thursday ruled that the Trump administration's deployment of the California National Guard can continue, for now. The Pentagon said on Friday that U.S. troops will not be responsible for law enforcement at the Los Angeles riots. Instead, they will protect federal property and personnel. Protests over the deportations have spread to numerous cities across the country, and Trump has warned that he may deploy troops to different areas. The Democrats asked Trump to "cease any further threats of deploying National Guard or other active duty military personnel into American cities absent a request from the Governor." Between the lines: The fight against the White House's deportation program is becoming a rallying point for Democrats who have largely been split over how to push back against Trump. Padilla's incident at the Noem presser on Thursday added more fuel to the flames. Democrats almost universally panned the manhandling of a sitting U.S. senator.
