[U.S. Small Business Optimism Falls From Highest Level Since 2018] As Companies Weigh The Policies Of The Trump Administration And The Federal Reserve's Pause In Interest Rate Cuts, U.S. Small Business Optimism Fell From A More Than Six-year High In January, And An Uncertainty Index Climbed. The National Federation Of Independent Business (Nfib) Optimism Index Fell 2.3 Points To 102.8 Last Month. Seven Of The 10 Sub-indices Fell, With The Capital Expenditure Plan Index Posting The Largest Monthly Drop Since 1995. The Uncertainty Index Jumped 14 Points, The Largest Monthly Increase Since 1986. The Index Tied The Third Highest Level In History, Indicating That Companies Are Becoming More Cautious About Investment As The Federal Reserve Slows The Pace Of Rate Cuts And U.S. President Trump Begins To Push Forward Tariff Measures. This Has Reversed The Sharp Decline In The Uncertainty Index In The Previous Two Months To A Certain Extent, As Trump's Victory At The Time Gave Companies A Clearer Outlook, Which In Turn Boosted The Overall Optimism Index To Its Highest Level Since 2018
