UMich Finds Consumer Sentiment Up a Bit

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment brightened slightly in November, helped by cheaper gasoline and a better jobs outlook, a survey released on Wednesday showed.

The University of Michigan's final reading of its consumer confidence index for November was 92.8, up from a final October reading of 91.7, according to market sources who saw the subscription-only report.

Analysts on average had forecast the index would rise to 96.0. The November preliminary reading came in at 95.5.

Consumer confidence is considered a barometer in consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the U.S. economy, although the correlation between consumer confidence and retail sales has not been strong in recent years.
