TORONTO (Reuters) - Consumer confidence picked up in March as more Canadians said now was a good time to make a major purchase, while the majority saw their financial situations unchanged over the coming six months, the Conference Board of Canada said on Monday. The board's Index of Consumer Confidence rose to 71.5 in March, up 2.7 points from February.There was also a bit of good news from the American housing sector. The National Association of Realtors said sales of existing homes grew 5.1% in February compared with January. It was the largest sales jump since July 2003, against expectations of a decline.
