Household sentiment in the U.S. advanced to a six-week high as rising stock prices and the return to work for many Americans continued to lift consumer attitudes about their personal finances.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index rose 1.7 points, the most since June 2019, to 38.7 in the first week of June, according to the survey released Thursday. The confidence gauge has increased 4 points in the last three weeks, matching the biggest similar-period gain since October 2015.
