Summary

  • June flash euro-area consumer confidence improved to -17.7 from -19.0, marking a second straight monthly gain but missing the -17.5 market forecast.
  • Lower crude oil prices in recent weeks helped lift household sentiment, though oil still remains slightly above levels seen before the Middle East conflict began.
  • Across the wider European Union, the consumer confidence index also strengthened, rising to -17.0 from -18.2.
  • Despite the rebound, confidence remains below its long-term average and under pre-conflict levels, underscoring persistent worries about economic uncertainty and household purchasing power.
