Mexico’s consumer confidence softened in September 2026, with the non-seasonally adjusted index declining to 45.2 from 46.6 in August 2026. The latest reading, updated on 06 October 2026, points to a modest deterioration in household sentiment compared with the previous month.

The move down from August’s 46.6 suggests Mexican consumers have become slightly more cautious in their outlook, potentially reflecting growing concerns about household finances or the broader economic environment. While the index remains below the neutral 50-point threshold typically associated with strong optimism, the shift from August to September highlights that confidence is under mild pressure as the final quarter of the year begins.

Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to assess whether this September decline marks the start of a more persistent weakening in sentiment or a temporary pause after previous gains in consumer confidence.
