FX.co ★ Canadian Consumer Sentiment Edges Higher in November, PCSI Rises to 47.22

Canadian consumer confidence showed a modest improvement in November, according to the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI). The index inched up to 47.22 in November 2026 from 46.61 in October 2026, based on data updated as of 11 November 2026.

On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading indicates slightly stronger sentiment compared with the previous month’s level. The October figure of 46.61 had marked the prior reference point for the index, and November’s move higher suggests a cautious but positive shift in Canadians’ outlook.

The “Actual” comparison reflects the change between November and October, while the “Previous” comparison captures the change between October and the month before it, providing a consistent month-over-month basis for tracking how consumer confidence is evolving over time.
