US consumer confidence at 16-year high

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER Published July 25, 2017 Economic Indicators Associated Press Opens a New Window.

 

WASHINGTON –  U.S. consumers gained confidence this month, with more Americans pleased by current conditions and more hopeful about the future.

The Conference Board, a New York-based business research group, says its consumer confidence index in July rose to 121.1, up from a revised reading of 117.3 in June. Consumers' views on current conditions hit the highest level since July 2001, while expectations for the future rebounded after a slight dip in June.

Just going by the numbers.   Perhaps you could dispute those??
