Investors in Germany More Optimistic in Nov: ZEW Economic Sentiment Investor sentiment in Germany rose in November, the latest data from the ZEW Institute showed on Tuesday.

The ZEW Economic Sentiment Index, evaluating the economic outlook of about 350 respondents for the next six months, climbed to 10.4 points in the eleventh month of the year, beating analysts expectations of a rise to 6.0.

Last month's reading of 1.9 points was the worst reading since October 2014.

Furthermore, the Current Situation Index came in at 54.4 in November, declining slightly from October's 55.2. Analyst had expected an unchanged reading.

German outlook

The economic situation in Germany is not so rosy at present and it is showing signs of strain. The inflation rate in Germany slightly accelerated in October, but remained deeply below the desired levels, Destatis confirmed in its last week's final reading, keeping pressure on the European Central Bank (ECB) to prevent the euro area from slipping into a dangerous cycle of falling prices.

Germany's CPI showed 0.3% year-on-year growth in November, after a flat reading in the previous month. On a monthly basis, prices halted their fall. The national CPI measure was breakeven during the tenth month of the year, following the 0.2% decline in September.
