WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Consumer sentiment likely ticked up in June, supported by favorable jobs data and stocks that have remained relatively high, according to economists polled by MarketWatch. Economists are looking for a preliminary June consumer-sentiment index reading of 84.7, which would be the highest level since July 2007, compared with a final May reading of 84.5. The report from the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters will be released at 9:55 a.m. Eastern.
