Consumer confidence fell to its lowest level since 2014, according to the latest data. The Consumer Confidence Index tumbled 6.7 points to 81.9 in September.
The decline is largely due to Americans' concerns about the economy, which has been plagued by five years of elevated inflation. The average price for a gallon of petrol has jumped 37 cents over the past month, and the consumer price index rose 3.4% last month compared with a year ago.
