FX.co ★ Eurozone Consumer Confidence Confirmed at 5-Month Low

Consumer confidence in the Euro Area fell to -17.9 in October 2026, down from -16.8 in September, marking its lowest level since May and matching the preliminary estimate. This was the second consecutive monthly decline, reflecting growing pessimism among households about both their past and expected financial situation, as well as a reduced willingness to make major purchases. By contrast, expectations for the broader national economic outlook remained largely unchanged. A similar weakening in sentiment was observed across the European Union as a whole, where the confidence index declined to -17.3 from -16.1 in September.
