Consumer confidence hits 14-year low.

A new ABC News Consumer Comfort Index “stands at -37 on its scale of +100 to -100, steady for three weeks at its lowest since November 1993. One reason for concern is that “the index this week is -8 among people with household incomes over $100,000, a new low in three years of tracking that income group and only the second time it’s been in the negative zone.”
