Consumer sentiment is climbing

With the election over and despite the approach of the fiscal cliff, consumer sentiment is strong, up 2.3 points to another recovery best of 84.9 at the mid-month reading. Confidence in current conditions is especially strong, at 91.3 vs October's final reading of 88.1. But expectations are also on the rise, up nearly 2 points to 80.8. Both of these readings, like the composite index, are at recovery bests.
