US consumer sentiment improved in November, with the Conference Board (CB) Consumer Confidence Index rising to 111.7 from 109.6 in October.

The Current Situation Index increased by 4.8 points to 140.9 in the same period, while the Expectations Index rose to 92.3.

Evaluating the survey results, “consumer confidence continued to improve in November and reached the top of the range that has prevailed over the past two years,” said Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board. “November’s increase was primarily driven by more positive consumer assessments of the current situation, particularly as it relates to the labor market.”
