Consumer confidence, like the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, tends to focus on the labor market and general economic outlook. Consumer sentiment, on the other hand, like the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index, emphasizes personal financial situations and feelings about the economy.
So you can feel good about your job security but bad about your economic situation.

‘You are going to panic,’ Jamie Dimon tells regulators about what will happen when the bond market cracks
The bond market is on edge, but less so this week after smooth Treasury auctions and talk of a key banking reform this summer
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, shown here in speaking in Paris earlier this month, fired off a warning about the bond market on Friday, telling regulators they “are going to panic.”
Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s longstanding chief executive, fired off a warning about the bond market on Friday, telling regulators they will “panic” when it happens.
“You are going to see a crack in the bond market — OK,” Dimon said, speaking at an event organized by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. “It is going to happen.”
“And I tell this to my regulators — some of who are in this room — I’m telling you this is going to happen. And you are going to panic.”
Dimon has been a frequent critic of banking regulations, pointing to “deep flaws” in the rules in the wake of extreme tumult in the bond market in April. He has singled out proposed changes to banks’ supplementary leverage ratio as likely to aid the roughly $29 trillion Treasury market.
A sharp bond selloff in April has kept investors on edge and rattled White House officials. President Donald Trump, during peak tumult, said that bond investors were getting “yippy.”

We are witnessing unprecedented losses in Japanese bond markets:
Japan's 30Y government bond prices have erased -45% of their value since 2019.
This comes as 30Y bond yield has risen ~275 basis points, to near their highest since its debut in 2007.
Over the last year, Japan’s 30Y bond yield has surged 100 basis points, creating massive unrealized losses for financial institutions.
Unrealized losses on domestic bond holdings for 4 of Japan’s largest life insurers QUADRUPLED in 12 months to a record $60 billion in Q1 2025.
