Equifax Index Shows Consumer Financial Divergence

Equifax has released its fourth quarter 2025 Market Pulse Index, which remained stable at 61.6, indicating a period of stabilization in the consumer financial landscape. However, the report highlights a growing divergence in financial well-being among different consumer segments. This suggests that while the overall market may appear steady, underlying economic conditions are creating disparities in financial health across households. The index's findings point to a complex economic environment where broad stability masks significant differences in individual financial resilience and opportunities.
