@ Wall Street
In May, the Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index and the Conference Board's consumer confidence index were not in sync - consumer sentiment increased by 6.5% and consumer confidence fell by 7.9%.
Recent news has been mixed, though more bad than good. First, the bad news: May's payroll numbers were disappointing, household net worth is taking a beating from falling home prices and volatile stock markets, and gasoline and food prices are still relatively high. The good news is that gasoline prices are off their peak, providing relief to already strained household budgets.
