Key Takeaways

  1. Small-business optimism rose to 90.5 in May, the highest this year.
  2. 28% of firms plan to raise prices, a 2-point increase.
  3. 42% of businesses report unfilled job openings, up 2 points.

What Happened?

Small-business optimism in the US reached its highest point of 2024 in May, with the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) sentiment index climbing 0.8 points to 90.5. This uptick surpassed median projections from a Bloomberg survey but remained below the long-term average of 98.

Five out of ten components of the sentiment index saw improvements, notably a 7-point rise in owners expecting economic improvement. Employment plans also showed positive momentum.

Why It Matters?

This increase in optimism signals a potential turning point for small businesses grappling with high prices, interest rates, and labor costs. The 0.8-point rise, though modest, suggests a slight easing of economic pessimism. Higher optimism often translates into increased investment and hiring, crucial for overall economic growth.

Moreover, the share of businesses planning to raise prices rose to 28%, indicating potential inflationary pressures. The proportion of firms citing inflation as their top concern held steady at 22%, highlighting persistent cost challenges.

What’s Next?

Looking ahead, the rising optimism could lead to more hiring and investment in the coming months. However, the survey also noted that 42% of firms still face unfilled job openings, up 2 points from April, and 15% plan to create new jobs in the next three months, a 3-point increase.

Investors should monitor these labor metrics closely as they can impact wage growth and consumer spending. Additionally, with 6% of firms identifying financing as their top problem—the highest in nearly 14 years—access to capital may become a growing concern.
