Bloomberg:
- The S&P 500’s Index will rally through the start of November after the latest jump in US consumer confidence, if history is any guide. Between 1974 and 2004 the US Consumer Confidence Index rose at least 20% on seven occasions. Following all but one of those surges, the S&P 500 was higher six months later, according to Bloomberg and Bespoke Investment Group LLC. The sentiment index rose 35% to 54.9 in May, the Conference Board said yesterday.
