CONSUMER sentiment in the US advanced last week to the second-highest level since 2008 as Americans grew more confident about their financial well-being.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index climbed to 38.1 in the period ended Nov 2, just short of the five-year high of 38.3 reached in August 2013. It rose almost one point from the prior week. The report's personal finances gauge was the strongest since mid-September.
