World Electronics Industry Confidence Index 

*An index below 50.0 is negative.

Industry personnel are asked, “What is your confidence in present business conditions and future (six months from now) business conditions?"  Respondents have three choices: positive, neutral, or negative.

Having a score above 50.0 means that electronics industry personnel are positive about present and future business conditions.  Below 50.0 means negative confidence.

The June Confidence Index is 54.3 for present business conditions. North America and Asia are still positive about present business conditions, but the US is the only region up in confidence from May. Japan is in negative territory again after being positive in May. Europe is still very negative about present business conditions.
