Unexpected deterioration in U.S. consumer confidence
Contrary to the expected rise, the consumer confidence index of the University of Michigan shows decline: standing on a value of 69.5 points in April, compared to the previously predicted 75 points.
The index decreased to its five-month nadir which is a bad news, after analysts predicted 75 points after the 73.6 points of February.
