The Conference Board Inc. released Consumer Confidence data that came out lower-than-expected of 128.0, compared to the 128.7 in the previous period.
"Overall, confidence levels remain at historically strong levels and should continue to support solid consumer spending in the near-term," Lynn Franco, director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board, said.
