Sentix: sentiments over economics

Sentix investors sentiment index for the euro zone rose to -2.2 points in March this year, from -3.7 points a month ago, the German research institute Sentix said. Market consensus was -3.1 points. The index’s component assessing current situation dropped to 6.3 points from 10.8 points a month earlier, while its component for investor expectations increased to -10.3 points from -17.3 points a month ago.

Still, the sentix economic index dropped lately for the sixth time in a row. This is the lowest level since November 2014. The sentix indices are performing similarly to the recent Ifo Index: with slightly improved expectations, and a continued decline in current situation assessment.
