EUR/USD: US CB Consumer Confidence

The Conference Board Inc. released US CB Consumer Confidence survey number that came out better than expected of 137.9, compare to forecasted 136.3.

"Consumers' assessment of present-day conditions remains quite positive, primarily due to strong employment growth. The Expectations Index posted another gain in October, suggesting that consumers do not foresee the economy losing steam anytime soon. Rather, they expect the strong pace of growth to carry over into early 2019." said Lynn Franco, Senior Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board.
