The report's headline consumer confidence gauge rose just 0.4 points to 105.3 last month, marking the second consecutive increase and continuing a string of positive readings – indicated by any figure above 100 – that began in mid-2023.
Opinions about household finances picked up, with the retrospective measure rising 1.5 points to 84.0 and the future-looking gauge jumping 2.4 to 84.1.
Business activity was also seen to be more positive, with workers noting more activity over the past 30 days (up 3.6 to 108.3) and anticipating more activity over the coming year (up 1.2 to 116.7).
On the downside, perceptions about job security over the coming 12 months deteriorated, with the sub-index falling 3.4 to 115.3, marking its lowest in eight months.
There were also concerns among homeowners, with perceptions of house prices worsening over the past 30 days (down 3.2 at 110.8) and over the coming year (down 0.5 at 130.0).
Despite the improvement in the headline measure, Sam Miley, head of forecasting and thought leadership at Cebr, said confidence "remain[s] fragile in certain areas".
"Notably, there is still pessimism about future job prospects, with the forward-looking job security indicator sharply deteriorating. Amongst other factors, this likely reflects uncertainty driven by the conflict in Iran, continually tight monetary policy, and the general loosening UK labour market," he said.
