02:10 AM EST, 12/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- German consumer sentiment is expected to be "disappointing" in January 2026, with the indicator dropping to -26.9 points from a revised -23.4 points in December 2025, Growth from Knowledge said Friday. Analysts expected -23 points for the month, according to Investing.com data. The latest reading reflects a sharp drop in consumers' income expectations and willingness to buy, alongside a marked increase in the propensity to save and "stagnating" economic expectations amid concerns about inflation and the pension system.
