FX.co ★ Italian Consumer Sentiment Slips in November, Thomson Reuters IPSOS PCSI Falls to 41.40

Italy’s consumer confidence weakened in November 2026, as the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) declined to 41.40, down from 42.99 in October 2026. The latest figures, updated on 12 November 2026, signal a further loss of momentum in household sentiment.

The month-on-month drop suggests Italian consumers have grown more cautious about current and near-term economic conditions. While the index remains well below the neutral 50-point threshold that would indicate broadly positive sentiment, the further slippage in November underscores persistent concerns that may weigh on spending and investment decisions heading into year-end.

Market participants and policymakers are likely to watch subsequent PCSI readings closely for signs of whether this downtrend in confidence stabilizes or deepens, as consumer sentiment often serves as an early indicator of shifts in economic activity in Italy’s domestic market.
