Highlights of the September 2015 German ZEW economic sentiment data report 15 September 2015

  • Prior 65.7

  • Eurozone ZEW expectations 33.3 vs 47.6 prior

Pretty much what I was expecting. Expectations crumbled while what's happening now strengthened. EURUSD sits at 1.1309 after a little run around to 1.1295

ZEW's Fuest says;

"The weakening economic development in emerging markets dampens the economic outlook for Germany's export-oriented economy. While economic growth in the second quarter was largely driven by external demand, it is becoming less likely that exports will stimulate growth in the near future,"
