US Confianza del Consumidor U. Michigan (preliminar, junio): 48.9 índice (puntos)

American consumer confidence rose for the first time in four months, helped by gasoline prices easing in early June. It came in at 48.9 versus 46.0 expected, up from a record low of 44.8. Even with the bounce, it's still the second-lowest reading since the 1970s: people remain worried about the high cost of living. The quiet good news is that they expect less inflation ahead (one-year down from 4.8% to 4.6%, long-run from 3.9% to 3.4%).
