10:00AM US consumer confidence rebounds in April

by Rex Nutting

American consumers felt a lot better in April after the quick victory in Iraq, the Conference Board said Tuesday. The consumer confidence index jumped to 81.0 in April from 61.4 in March, the largest one-month gain since March 1991, when the first Gulf War concluded. But attitudes about both the present and the future improved markedly. "The swift outcome in the Middle East has helped quell consumers' short term concerns," said Lynn Franco, an economist at the board. The present situation index rose to 75.3 in April from 61.4 in March.The expectations index jumped to 84.8 in April from 61.4 in March, also the largest one-month gain since the first Gulf War.
