NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) - ABC News said on Tuesday that
its weekly gauge of U.S. consumer confidence rose for the
second straight week, edging up from a recent three-month low.

The ABC Consumer Comfort Index rose to -46 in the week
ended Nov. 8 from a -49 the prior week.

It was the biggest rise in the index for two consecutive
weeks since April, coming off a three-month low hit two weeks
ago.

The index first hit a record low of -54 in the week to Dec.
1, 2008, and again in the week to Jan. 25, 2009. It has not
been on positive ground since March 2007.
