German Consumer Confidence Edges Higher Despite Tariff Uncertainty
Consumer sentiment in Germany improved a little as wage expectations grew and views of the economic outlook calmed, despite the uncertainty provoked by President Trump's tariff policies, a monthly survey said Tuesday.
The consumer-climate index published by research groups GfK and the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions ticked up for a third straight month to minus 19.9 in June's forecast, 0.9 points higher than in May. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal expected the measure a little stronger, at minus 19.6.
