MW: UMich consumer sentiment rises in January: report
Consumer sentiment rose in January to a final reading of 61.2 from 60.1 in late December, according to a media report of a survey released Friday by the University of Michigan and Reuters. Analysts polled by MarketWatch were looking for a January result of 61.5. While sentiment remains at relatively low levels, lower prices have provided some relief, even as worry persists over income and ongoing job losses.
