FX.co ★ Swedish Household Confidence Edges Higher in October, Signalling Gradual Sentiment Improvement

Household confidence in Sweden showed a modest uptick in October 2026, pointing to a gradual improvement in consumer sentiment. The latest data, updated on 11 November 2026, indicate that the household confidence indicator rose to 1.20%, compared with 1.10% in September 2026 on a month-over-month basis.

The figures mean that October’s increase slightly outpaced September’s gain, with the “actual” measure reflecting October’s change from the previous month and the “previous” measure capturing September’s change versus August. While the movement is incremental, the back-to-back improvements suggest that Swedish households are becoming cautiously more optimistic about their economic outlook as the autumn progresses.
