The University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment index fell to a preliminary September reading of 76.8 — the lowest since April — from a final August reading of 82.1.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Confidence among American consumers fell in September to the lowest level in four months on renewed worries about stagnant wages and the availability of jobs, the Conference Board said Tuesday. The consumer confidence index fell to 79.7 in September from a revised 81.8 in August. Economists polled by MarketWatch had projected the index to drop to 79.5. Consumers were less optimistic about the health of the economy over the next six months. The expectations index dropped to 84.1 from 89.0, although the present situation index rose to 73.2 from 70.9. "Consumer confidence decreased in September as concerns about the short-term outlook for both jobs and earnings resurfaced, while expectations for future business conditions were little changed," said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at board. "While overall economic conditions appear to have moderately improved, consumers are uncertain that the momentum can be sustained in the months ahead."
