consumer confidence rose in May to the highest level in almost six years as an advancing stock market and cheaper gas prices helped lift Americans’ outlook on the economy. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment rose to 83.7 in May, the highest since July 2007, from 76.4 the prior month, a report today showed. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey was for a gain to 77.9. Forecasts ranged from 74 to 82.5. The index averaged 64.2 during the recession that ended in June 2009 and 89 in the five years prior. Americans are enjoying lower prices at the pump, a rally in the stock market and a recovery in home sales, which are helping alleviate the effects of higher taxes and a package of federal spending cuts, known as sequestration, that threatens to take a toll on jobs. At the same time, merchants including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) , Kohl’s Corp. (KSS) and OfficeMax Inc. (OMX) report that customers remain cautious. “We’ve got a consumer that’s been stunningly resilient to tax hikes and sequestration,” Mike Englund, chief economist at Action Economics in Boulder, Colorado, said before the report. “It’s not an optimistic consumer, but it’s a resilient one.” The Michigan survey follows a Bloomberg measure of consumer outlook, which improved in May to its best reading in five months. The Bloomberg consumer economic expectations gauge , released monthly, rose to minus 1 from minus 4 in April. ...
