U.K. consumer confidence rises again: Nationwide
LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.K. consumer confidence rose to 58 in June, from 54 in May, according to a monthly survey from Nationwide. The third straight increase for the survey was fueled by a sharp improvement in consumers’ expectations of the future state of the economy and a slight uptick in their confidence about investing in major purchases. The expectations index rose to 86 in June, from 78 in May, the highest level since the survey began in 2004.
