Incomes advanced 0.1% in September after falling 0.1% the prior month, and the nation’s savings rate fell to nearly a four-year low. Separately, University of Michigan stated that its index of consumer sentiment increased in the final review to 60.90 in October from 59.4 in September. The preliminary estimate for the month was 57.5.
