FX.co ★ Mexico’s Consumer Confidence Slips in January, Signaling Cautious Households

Mexico’s consumer confidence edged down at the start of 2026, suggesting households are entering the year with slightly more caution about economic conditions. The consumer confidence index eased to 44.0 points in January 2026, down from 44.6 points in December 2025.

The latest data, updated on 6 February 2026, indicate a modest softening in sentiment rather than a sharp deterioration. While the index remains below the 50-point threshold that would typically signal outright optimism, the small decline points to consumers becoming marginally more reserved in their outlook for spending and the broader economy as the new year begins.
