India, Nov. 6 -- Preliminary data released by the University of Michigan on Friday showed an unexpected improvement in U.S. consumer sentiment in the month of November.

The University of Michigan said its consumer sentiment index rose to 51.0 in November from 48.0 in October. Economists had expected the index to remain unchanged.

The increase by the headline partly reflected a notable improvement in consumers' assessment of current economic conditions, with the current economic conditions index jumping to 51.0 in November from 46.7 in October.
