Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence rose from -38.3 to -30.9 in November, above expectation of -35. Current situation index rose from -35.5 to -29.5. Expectations index rose from -41.0 to -32.3, highest since June this year.
Sentix said: “At the beginning of November, the sentix economic indices in Euroland surprise on the positive side. The overall index rises by 7.4 points to -30.9, which is still not a trend reversal signal. But the rise in situation and expectation values shows how sensitively investors react in their economic expectations to signals from the energy market.
“For this is the cause of the hopeful changes. October showed higher temperatures than usual and this means that gas storage facilities in Germany, for example, are full to the brim, more than expected for November. Spot market gas prices collapsed in response. Concerns about a catastrophic gas shortage are fading.”
