ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. June consumer confidence rises to 105.7 ; Sentiment about current conditions ebbs for second straight month
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch
Last Update: 10:10 AM ET Jun 27, 2006
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. consumer confidence rose in June as Americans predicted better economic times ahead, the Conference Board said Tuesday.
The consumer confidence index rose to 105.7 last month from a revised 104.7 in May, the research group reported.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had been expecting the index to dip slightly to 103.1.
Consumers were more optimistic about the future in June, while their assessment of current conditions weakened a bit.
The expectations index rose to 87.6 in June from 85.1 in May.
More consumers also expected business conditions to improve. That index rose to 16.8% from 16.5%.
Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board's consumer research center, noted June's slight bounceback in confidence was due to better expectations.
But, she said, the decline in the present situation index constitutes "a signal that the economy is shifting into lower gear heading into the second half of this year."
Consumers' overall assessment of current conditions remained favorable but eased in June, slipping to 132.7 from 134.1 in May.
The outlook for the labor market was more optimistic.
Those respondents expecting more jobs to become available in coming months rose to 15.6% from 14.8%. Those expecting fewer jobs fell to 17.0% from 18.0%.
The survey is based on a sample of 5,000 U.S. households.
Just over 17% of consumers expected their incomes to rise in the months ahead.

ECONOMIC REPORT: Existing-home sales fall 1.2% to 6.67 million in May; Inventories rise to 9-year high, realtors group says

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Resales of U.S. homes fell 1.2% in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.67 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday.
Sales of existing homes have fallen in three of the past five months.
"We're right on course for a soft landing," said David Lereah, chief economist for the real estate group. "Fingers and toes crossed."
The inventory of unsold homes increased 5.5% to 3.60 million, a 6.5-month supply, a nine-year high. It was at 4.3 months a year ago.
The median sales price increased 6% in the past 12 months to $230,000.
Economists were expecting sales of about 6.64 million, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.
Sales of existing homes in April were revised to lower to 6.75 million from 6.76 million.
Sales increased 0.7% in the West and 0.4% in the South. They fell 3.8% in the Midwest and dropped 4.2% in the Northeast.
Single-family sales fell 1.5% to 5.82 million from 5.91 million. Condo sales increased 1.9% to 852,000.
In a separate report released Monday, the Commerce Department said new-home sales rose about 4.6% in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.234 million, the third straight increase.
The existing home sales report "is more reflective of what's happening in the housing sector" than the new-home sales or housing starts reports, which showed gains in May, said Lereah.
Lereah said he expects a quick transition to a better market once prices adjust. Demand for homes is still high with a still-growing economy.
He cautioned that consumers are being "hit in two or three directions" by higher interest rates, sagging home equity and higher energy costs. "I would hope the Fed incorporates all these factors" in its decisions about interest rates.
"The housing sector is very interest sensitive," Lereah said.
