- Eurozone investors’ morale keeps improving for the fifth month in a row in March.
- EUR/USD holds gains near 1.0850 after the upbeat Eurozone data.
The most recent survey on Monday revealed a positive trend for the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index, which climbed from -12.9 in February to -10.5 in March, marking its highest level since April 2023.
The Expectations Index in the Eurozone also displayed improvement, rising from -5.5 in the previous month to -2.3 in March.
Furthermore, the index measuring the Current Situation recorded an increase to -18.5 in March from -20.0 in February, marking the fifth consecutive monthly rise.
Key takeaways
“While the data indicates a positive direction, a traditional spring revival for the Eurozone is not on the horizon. The hindrance to a comprehensive economic recovery in the core of Europe is attributed to German economic policies, sustaining the ongoing recession.”
