Australia’s Westpac–Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index lifted to 83.9 in July 2026 from 80.6 a month earlier, marking a modest improvement in household confidence as worries over energy costs, rising rates, and labor market weakness eased. Even so, the latest index remains deeply subdued, sitting in the bottom 10% of outcomes across the survey’s five-decade history. Sentiment continues to be weighed down by fragility in the global backdrop, with households particularly sensitive to geopolitical strains such as ongoing tensions in the Middle East. source: Westpac Banking Corporation, Melbourne Institute
