The Conference Board reports December consumer confidence at 94, up from 90.2 in November, the highest since October 1978, with Fabian Linden citing rising income, low inflation, and more jobs as boosting security. Government data show mixed signals as factory orders rise 2.2 percent to 185.8 billion dollars and construction activity holds, while residential lone contraction dips.
