Consumer confidence in the US improved in September, with the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index edging higher to 70.1 from 66 in August. This reading came in above the market expectation of 69.3. “Sentiment appears to be building some momentum as consumers’ expectations for the economy brighten,” the report reads.
The Current Conditions Index improved to 63.3 from 61.3 7, and the Consumer Expectations Index rose to 74.4 from 72.1
The survey details revealed that the five-year inflation expectation held steady at 3.1%.
The report gave the US Dollar a modest boost, helping the USD to recover some ground after the sharp slide resulting from softer-than-anticipated inflation-related figures.
