US consumer sentiment finished September at its strongest in more than a year on growing optimism about the economy and more favourable outlook on future income, a survey released on Friday showed.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final September reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment finished at 84.6, the highest since July 2013, up from 82.5 at the end of August.

The late September reading was unchanged from its initial figure and economists polled by Reuters had expected a reading of 84.7.
