Nov. Consumer Sentiment Posts Unexpected Rise

Friday, November 09, 2001

NEW YORK — U.S. consumer sentiment posted an unexpected surge in early November as a rebound in sickly U.S. stocks helped Americans shrug off mounting job cuts and deteriorating economic conditions since Sept. 11.

The University of Michigan's preliminary November consumer sentiment index rose to 83.5 from 82.7 in October — in sharp contrast to the Conference Board's October numbers, which showed consumer confidence still falling.

Economists and policymakers closely watch consumer confidence, mostly on a downward trend since late last year, because it is closely linked to consumer spending, which underpins about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
