Consumer sentiment in the US deteriorated in January, with the Conference Board's (CB) Consumer Confidence Index declining to 104.1 from 109.5 in December.
In this period, the Present Situation Index fell by 9.7 points to 134.3 and the Expectations Index dropped to 83.9.
Assessing the survey's findings, "views of current labor market conditions fell for the first time since September, while assessments of business conditions weakened for the second month in a row," said Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board.
"Meanwhile, consumers were also less optimistic about future business conditions and, to a lesser extent, income. The return of pessimism about future employment prospects seen in December was confirmed in January," Peterson added.
The US Dollar Index largely ignored this report and was last seen rising 0.42% on the day at 107.87.
