German and Euro zone ZEW gauges of Economic Sentiment
The gauge of economic sentiment in Germany probably improved to 0.5 in November, according to the median forecast by experts. In October the index entered into negative territory for the first time since November 2012, slipping to a reading of -3.6. The indicator has been in decline since December 2013, when it stood at 62.0.
The ZEW (Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung) economic expectations index is published monthly. The study encompasses up to 350 financial and economic analysts. The indicator reflects the difference between the share of analysts, that are optimistic and those, that are pessimistic about the expected economic development in Germany over the next six months. A positive value indicates that the proportion of optimists is larger than that of pessimists. A ZEW reading of -100 suggests that all analysts are pessimistic about the current developments and expect economic conditions to deteriorate. A ZEW reading of 100 implies that all analysts are optimistic about the current situation and expect conditions to improve. A ZEW reading of 0 indicates neutrality.
The index of current assessment in Germany probably dropped to 1.8 in November from 3.2 in the prior month. If so, this would be the lowest index value since June 2010, when the indicator was reported at -7.9.
The ZEW Economic Sentiment index in the Euro zone probably climbed to 4.3 this month from 4.1 during October. The latter has been the lowest index reading since November 2012, when the indicator stood at -2.6.
In case the gauge of sentiment exceeded expectations, this would certainly have a positive impact on the common currency. The official data is scheduled to be released at 10:00 GMT.
