The share of US consumers expecting higher stock prices over the next 12 months hit 51.4%, the highest since this question was first asked in 1987, according to the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Survey.

This share has doubled over the last 2 years as the US stock market rallied.

This is another indicator showing euphoric sentiment among households.
