- Prior 24.0
A general sentiment indicator of investors' outlook of the Eurozone economy over the next six months.
Another major dip in investor confidence in the Eurozone. The prior report was marred by the German SPD vote, and looking through this month's report it shows that current situation held somewhat steady (a small decline) but the bulk of it comes from expectations as it falls to negative (!) in the latest reading.
Expectations declined to -1.5 from 4.3. It was 15.5 for February's outlook. Germany's expectations reading fell to the lowest since October 2014, down to -7.8 as geopolitics and worries about the nations exports were cited as the main underlying reasons.

Only adds to the narrative that a slowdown in the Eurozone economy should not be taken lightly, especially when investors are starting to worry as well.
