Consumer confidence continuing to skip in neutral territory
Latest Weekly Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Consumer Index Tracking
Canadian consumer confidence remains broadly unchanged. The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index stands at 50.70, close to recent levels and consistent with a balance between positive and negative sentiment.
Current assessments and expectations continue to diverge modestly. Views on personal finances and job security remain comparatively stable, though slightly lower than earlier readings. By contrast, expectations for the economy and housing have edged higher but still sit below neutral, indicating a degree of caution about the near-term outlook.
Regional variation persists. Sentiment is comparatively higher in Quebec and parts of Atlantic Canada, while Ontario records weaker readings than other regions.
Overall, the data points to a steady but unremarkable backdrop. Confidence remains near its recent average, with limited movement in either direction.

METHODOLOGY
The BNCCI is produced by the Nanos Research Corporation, headquartered in Canada, which operates in Canada and the United States. The data is based on
random telephone interviews with 1,000 Canadian consumers (land- and cell-lines), using a four week rolling average of 250 respondents each week, 18 years of age and over. The random sample of 1,000 respondents may be weighted using the latest census information for Canada.
The interviews are compiled into a four week rolling average of 1,000 interviews where each week, the oldest group of 250 interviews is dropped and a new group of 250 interviews is added. The views of 1,000 respondents are compiled into a diffusion index from 0 to 100. A score of 50 on the diffusion index indicates that positive and negative views are a wash while scores above 50 suggest net positive views, while those below 50 suggest net negative views in terms of the economic mood of Canadians.
A random telephone survey of 1,028 consumers in Canada is accurate 3.1 percentage points, plus or minus, 19 times out of 20. This report is based on the four waves of tracking ending May 29, 2026.
