WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a record ⁠low ⁠in April as households shrugged off a ceasefire ⁠in the war with Iran, remaining focused on the inflation fallout from the conflict.

The University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers said its Consumer Sentiment Index dropped to a final reading of 49.8 this month, an all-time low. The reading was a slight improvement, ‌however, from the 47.6 reported earlier in ‌the month.
