UK Consumer Confidence Falls to Three-Month Low

UK consumer confidence fell to a three-month low in September 2026, S&P Global says. Its sentiment index, a gauge of household finances, dipped to 42.7 from 42.9 in August. More than half of 1,500 households expect borrowing costs to rise, and job confidence hit a 3.5-year low on mortgage and job fears, weak finances could restrain spending if pressures persist.
