US consumer confidence rose and was higher than expected in September, according to a private sector report released on Tuesday.
The Conference Board, an industry group, said its index of consumer attitudes rose to 103.0, the highest since January, from a downwardly revised 101.3 the month before. Economists had expected a reading of 96.1, according to a Reuters poll.
