SYDNEY, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A measure of Australia's consumer sentiment slipped in November after three straight months of gains ahead of the U.S. election and as households became less confident of the property market and their own finances, its compilers said on Wednesday.
The Melbourne Institute and Westpac Bank WBC.AX survey of 1,200 people found consumer sentiment faltered 1.1 percent in November, from October when it rose by a similar quantum.
That left the index at 101.3, with optimists still outnumbering pessimists.
