Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence worsens to 16.9 in Oct, a big miss
|Eurozone’s investor sentiment worsened more than expected in October, the latest data published by the Sentix research group showed on Monday.
The gauge fell further to 16.9 in October from 19.6 in September vs. a reading of 19.0 expected. The index tumbled to six-month lows and marks the third straight monthly decline.
A current conditions index fell to 26.3 from 30.8.
An expectations index fell to 8.0 from 9.0, dropping for the fifth month in a row to hit its lowest level since May 2020.
Sentix Managing Director Patrick Hussy said: "The economic recovery process continues to falter. The continuing loss of momentum thus does not signal any autumn revival."
EUR/USD reaction
The shared currency shrugs off disappointing Eurozone Sentix data, as EUR/USD keeps its range around 1.1615 amid the US dollar retreat and cautious markets.
