A gauge of U.S. consumer confidence declined in April, a sign of
caution that could restrain the broader economy. The Conference Board's
consumer-confidence index fell to 94.2 in April from a downwardly
revised 96.1 in March, the group said Tuesday. Economists surveyed by
The Wall Street Journal had expected an April reading of 96.0.
"Consumers' assessment of current conditions improved, suggesting no
slowing in economic growth," said Lynn Franco, the group's director of
economic indicators. "However, their expectations regarding the
short-term have moderated, suggesting they do not foresee any pickup in
momentum."
