FX.co ★ Swedish Consumer Sentiment Slips in October as PCSI Drops Below 56

Sweden’s consumer confidence weakened in October 2026, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) declining to 55.29 from 60.01 in September. The latest reading, updated on 15 October 2026, signals a month-over-month deterioration in sentiment after a stronger showing in the previous month.

The PCSI, which tracks consumer views on current and future conditions, now reflects a noticeable loss of momentum compared with September 2026. The month-over-month comparison shows that the October indicator not only fell from its previous level, but did so after September had itself marked a comparatively higher reading. Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to see whether this downturn in sentiment proves temporary or marks the start of a more persistent cooling in Swedish consumer confidence.
