US Consumer Confidence

Gauges of the U.S. consumer confidence are sending mixed signals, fostering uncertainty about whether the recent pickup in consumer spending will be sustained into the summer months. The Conference Board’s consumer-confidence index fell to 92.6 in May from an upwardly revised 94.7 in April, the group said Tuesday. It was the second consecutive monthly decline and took the index to its lowest level in six months. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected a May reading of 96.0. A separate measure of the U.S. household optimism, however, rebounded in May. The University of Michigan on Friday said its consumer-sentiment index was 94.7 in May, an 11-month high and up sharply from an April reading of 89.0.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around the current levels could be a good strategy in short to medium term.
