Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Confidence among consumers probably held near a record low in January as a growing number of Americans lost their jobs and houses, a private report may show.

The Conference Board’s sentiment index climbed to 39 this month from a December reading of 38 that was the lowest since records began in 1967, according to the median forecast of 69 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. A separate report today may show the drop in home values accelerated in November.
