FX.co ★ Italian Consumer Sentiment Edges Higher in July, PCSI Rises to 45.85

Italy’s consumer confidence ticked up in July, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) reading. The index climbed to 45.85 in July 2026, up from 43.71 in June 2026.

The improvement suggests a modest strengthening in Italian households’ outlook for the economy and their personal financial situation over the period. While still below the neutral 50-point threshold that would signal broadly optimistic sentiment, the July gain points to a gradual recovery in confidence.

The July 2026 data, updated on 9 July 2026, will be closely watched by markets and policymakers as a gauge of domestic demand prospects in the months ahead.
