Consumer confidence fell last week to a four-month low as Americans grew more pessimistic about the economy and their finances.

The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index declined to 34.8 in the period ended Sept. 28, the lowest reading since May 25, from 35.5. Views of the economy were also the weakest in four months, and the personal finances gauge dropped to its lowest reading since early August.
