Utah’s consumer sentiment rose 3.2% in November, according to the Zions Bank Consumer Sentiment Survey. This increase, from 73.4 in October to 75.8 in November, is within the survey’s margin of error. A similar survey conducted by the University of Michigan reports that sentiment fell 4.9% among Americans as a whole during November, although this change is also within the survey’s margin of error.
“Utah consumer sentiment increased in November, reversing a contraction the previous month and a continued downward trend in national sentiment,” according to Robert Spendlove, Zions Bank senior economist. “Utah consumer sentiment also continues to exceed national sentiment.”
