# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the GfK Consumer Confidence (UK) March 2026 release could not be retrieved.

**Reason:** 
1. The **Perplexity Search skill** failed with an `HTTP 401 Unauthorized` error, likely due to an invalid or missing `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` in the environment.
2. Manual search attempts via `curl` on the GfK press portal and Google site-specific queries did not return a direct URL for the March 2026 publication. The GfK website often requires Javascript to render press lists, which `curl` cannot execute, and direct link patterns for GfK releases are non-deterministic.
3. The event timestamp (March 27, 2026, 00:01 UTC) is very recent, and the document may be gated or distributed via subscription wires (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters) before the public web version is indexed.

**Indicators requested:**
