Revised data released by the University of Michigan on Friday showed consumer sentiment in the U.S. deteriorated by slightly less than previously estimated in the month of October.
The report said the consumer sentiment index for October was upwardly revised to 63.8 from the preliminary estimate of 63.0.
The upward revision surprised economists, who had expected the reading to be unrevised, although the index is still down sharply from 67.9 in September.
