US consumer confidence showed minor changes in April
US consumer confidence remained little changed this month as uncertainty about the outlook offset rising optimism over the present economic situation. The confidence index measured by the Conference Board modestly declined from revised 69.5 in March to 69.2 in April, the research group reported on Tuesday. Consumers stayed cautiously optimistic, suggested Lynn Franco, Conference Board's director.
