ECONOMIC REPORT: Consumer confidence index falls to 10-month low
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatchLast Update: 10:01 AM ET Jun 26, 2007

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. consumers are "subdued" about the economy and the job market, the Conference Board said Tuesday.
The consumer confidence index fell to 103.9 in June from 108.5 in May. It's the lowest since August.
Economists polled by MarketWatch were expecting a pullback to 105.
The present situation index fell to 127.9 from 136.1; it's the lowest since November. The expectations index fell to 87.9 from 90.1, matching March's low.
"Looking ahead, consumers remain rather subdued about short-term economic prospects," said Lynn Franco, director of the research group's consumer research center.
The number of Americans who say jobs are plentiful fell to 27% from 29.1%, while the number who said jobs are hard to get rose to 21.1% from 19.7%.
Fewer consumers thought the economy was doing well and more thought it was bad. Still, the optimists outnumbered the pessimists 27% to 16%.
Consumers were guarded about the near-term. The number saying business conditions would improve rose to 16.1% from 15.3%, but the number who expect conditions to worsen also rose to 11% from 10.2%.
Inflation expectations were steady, with consumers expecting a 5.4% increase in consumer prices in the next 12 months.
