LONDON, June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Editor Note: For more information about this release, please scroll to bottom.

The preliminary reading on Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index for the month of June came in at 82.7. This was after consumer sentiment climbed to 84.5 in May, the highest level since July 2007. US consumer confidence has been boosted by an ongoing improvement in the labor market. Last month, the economy added 175,000 jobs. Further, if the labor market continues to improve, consumer confidence will receive a further boost. Rising consumer confidence augurs well for discount and variety stores operators. On Monday, June 17, 2013, shares in discount and variety stores operators ended mostly higher, tracking gains in the broader market. The major movers in the sector included Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT), Dollar General Corp. (NYSE: DG), Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST), and Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR).
