Consumer Comfort in U.S. Hovers Near Highest Since 2008
This article is for subscribers only.
Consumer confidence in the U.S. held near a four-year high last week as Americans grew less pessimistic about the economy.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index was little changed at minus 32.1 in the period ended Dec. 23 from minus 31.9 in the prior week, a drop that was within the margin of error of 3 percentage points. The gauge was less than a point from an April reading that was the highest since March 2008.
