U.S. Consumer Confidence, flat in January by FXstreet.com
Consumer Confidence remained practically flat in January from December, amid softer expectations for the economy's outlook, as the latest report by the Conference Board shows.

- Consumer confidence improves in January (AFX News)
- Tony Juste, FX Advisor at FXstreet.com:
"Consumer Confidence remains at a very good level in the States, and that reinforces the view that tomorrow we will not have any surprise form the Federal Reserve with respect to the interest rates. Consumer confidence above 100 is a very good reading and show that people believes strongly in the economy and they are fuelling it by keeping consumption standards high." - FXstreet.com
