NFIB Business Optimism Index
The NFIB Business Optimism Index is a monthly survey conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business that measures the economic outlook and sentiment of small business owners in the USA. It gauges factors such as hiring plans, capital expenditure, and sales expectations, providing insights into the health of the small business sector, which is a crucial component of the U.S. economy. This index is significant as it can influence economic policy decisions and market sentiment, with higher optimism often correlating with increased economic activity and investment. Financial markets may react to changes in the index as it reflects broader economic trends and potential shifts in consumer spending and business investment.Next Event
