According to the highlights of the forward-looking predictive analytics published today in the March issue of the US Consumer Confidence Digest, the popular confidence measure, which is indexed to equal 100 when growth is nil, decreased 0.2 percent points in March to a reading of 108.6, after falling (−0.6 percent points) in February.
