American consumers were feeling less confident this month amid continued volatility in the financial markets.
The Conference Board, a business research group, says its consumer confidence index fell to 124.1 in March from 131.4 in February.
The index, covering through March 14, measures consumers' assessment of current economic conditions and their expectations for the next six months. Both declined in March. The index had climbed in February amid a rebound in the stock market after Christmas and an end to the partial shutdown of the federal government, as well as signs of progress toward ending the trade standoff between the U.S. and China.
