The Conference Board&#39;s Consumer Confidence Index climbed to 108.3, up sharply from 101.4 last month, and higher than economists&#39; prediction of 101.

Both metrics far exceeded analysts&#39; consensus estimates, which called for revenue of $12.6 billion and EPS of $0.64, so Nike sailed past expectations with ease.
