US Financial Conditions Index Reaches Lowest Level Since February 2020

9 Jul 2026· CLOM Newsroom· CLOM· 1 min readMACRO

The Chicago Federal Reserve's National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) has dropped to its lowest reading since February 2020, prior to the onset of military actions involving Iran.

A lower NFCI indicates looser financial conditions, which may complicate the Federal Reserve's efforts to manage inflation as it supports borrowing, spending, and asset prices.
