Actual data showed headline Conference Board index coming in much above market expectations, with both Present Situation and Expectations subindices improving compared to a month ago. Also, existing home sales data turned out to be stronger than expected, with sales climbing 0.8% MoM instead of an expected 0.4% MoM drop.
