August 26, 2003 Aug. Consumer Confidence Rises 4.3 Points By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 10:13 a.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) -- Consumer confidence bounced back in August from a dip the previous month, a private research group said Tuesday. The New-York-based Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 81.3 in August, up 4.3 points from a revised 77.0 in July. Analysts had expected a reading of 79.6 for August. ``The welcome bounce back in confidence this month was entirely due to consumers' optimism about the future,'' said Lynn Franco, director of the group's consumer research center. ``However, continued optimism will depend on positive developments in the labor market.'' Consumers also showed growing optimism about the economy over the next six months, though their assessment of current conditions again deteriorated slightly. The group's expectations index rose to 94.4 in August from 86.3 in July, while the present situation index declined to 61.6 from 63.0.
