FX.co ★ Hungary’s Consumer Sentiment Edges Higher in July, PCSI Rises to 52.08

Hungary’s consumer confidence improved in July 2026, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) ticking up to 52.08, compared with 50.47 in June 2026. The month‑over‑month gain suggests a modest strengthening in household sentiment as the index moves further above the neutral 50-point line.

The latest reading, updated on 09 July 2026, indicates that Hungarian consumers are slightly more optimistic about current and near-term conditions than they were a month earlier. The July increase follows June’s improvement over May, underscoring a continuing upward trend when measured on a month‑over‑month basis, in line with the index’s methodology of comparing each month to the one immediately preceding it.
