Consumer sentiment in the U.S. improved by less than initially estimated in the month of September, according to revised data released by the University of Michigan on Friday.
The University of Michigan said the consumer sentiment index for September was downwardly revised to 58.6 from the preliminary estimate of 59.5. Economists had expected the index to be unrevised.
Despite the downward revision, the consumer sentiment index was still slightly higher than the final August reading of 58.2.
