Key Takeaways Consumer confidence improved again in November, nearing its highest in two years.More people said they felt better about the current economic environment in The Conference Board monthly survey.

France's consumer confidence index fell in November, hit by households' rising fears about unemployment, according to the monthly business survey published by INSEE on Wednesday.

"Consumer confidence continued to improve in November and reached the top of the range that has prevailed over the past two years," said Dana M. Peterson, chief economist at The Conference Board. "November's increase was mainly driven by more positive consumer assessments of the present situation, particularly regarding the labor market."
