Data from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) showed that the Small Business Optimism Index fell by 3 points in March this year to 95.8, the lowest level since April 2025 and below market expectations of 98.6. The index is now below its 52-year average of 98. The Uncertainty Index rose by 4 points to 92, well above its historical average of 68.
