An index of sentiment among chief executive officers of U.S. companies has turned positive for the first time in two years, according to the Conference Board.

The group’s Measure of CEO Confidence rose to 53 in the first quarter, up from 46 in the final three months of 2023, the Conference Board said in results published Thursday. Readings above 50 indicate more optimistic than pessimistic responses.
