CNBC: Consumer Confidence Comes in Far Stronger Than Expected

EXCERPT:

SANTELLI: “Indeed, we're looking for our April read on consumer confidence. The headline number expected to be under 90, it comes in stronger than expected, 92.8 is the new reading for April, and that follows an upward revision from 91.8 to 92.2. 92.8 is the high watermark of the year. You have to go back to the last month of 2025 to find a higher number. 123.8, present situation, that's over 3 points higher than expected, and sequentially, a bit higher than our last look. 123.8 would be the highest level going back to the November read of last year.”
