U.S. Consumer Confidence Unexpectedly Rises From Downwardly Revised Level Consumer confidence in the U.S. unexpectedly improved from a downwardly revised level in the month of July. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index rose to 100.3 in July from a downwardly revised 97.8 in June. Economists had expected the consumer confidence index to edge down to 99.5 from the 100.4 originally reported for the previous month. "Confidence increased in July, but not enough to break free of the narrow range that has prevailed over the past two years," said Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board. #USeconomy #Consumerconfidence #ConferenceBoard #USD #consumer
