German Investor Morale Shoots Up To 10-Mth Top, Defying Brexit Anxiety
nvestor sentiment in Germany unexpectedly improved in June, a survey said on Tuesday, with the respective gauge markedly outrunning estimates.
The widely watched Investor Confidence Index calculated by the ZEW economic institute came in at 19.2 points during the sixth month of the year, down from 6.4 points seen in May.
That's the highest since August 2015.
Economic desks had anticipated a downturn to 4.8 in June.
"The ZEW index is currently not the best predictor of future growth in the German economy. Nevertheless, against the background of latest market turmoil and the upcoming British referendum, German investors’ new optimism comes as a nice positive surprise," Carsten Brzeski from ING Bank noted after the data were made public on Tuesday.
The single currency dropped notably against the US dollar on Tuesday. The pair failed to break the resistance at 1.1389 and short-term expectations are still in favor of the dollar.
