Latest data published by Sentix - 5 February 2018

A general sentiment indicator of investors' outlook of the Eurozone economy over the next six months.

Expectations fall to their worst since February last year, on the back of German coalition talks mostly. Germany's reading fell by a whopping 6 points, and that's dragging the index's reading this month.

A minor data point, and it's also a forward-looking indicator. EUR/USD holding up at 1.2470, while EUR/CHF still thereabouts at 1.1583. Meanwhile, EUR/GBP rises up to 0.8827 as sterling gives up some gains on the back of the softer services PMI data.
