Small business optimism rebounds in June as uncertainty eases

NFIB’s uncertainty measure fell 2 points to 89 in June, staying elevated even as optimism climbed 2.1 points to 97.4.

The NFIB’s Small Business Optimism Index rose 2.1 points to 97.4 in June, moving closer to its 52-year average of 98.0, according to Action Forex.

The same data showed the Uncertainty Index declined 2 points to 89, though it remained higher than historical norms, indicating the improvement in sentiment had not fully translated into a more predictable operating environment.

Action Forex said the uptick in optimism reflects improved growth expectations, while the continued elevation in uncertainty suggests small businesses still face risk around their outlook.
