German ZEW Economic Sentiment ticked up from 47.1 to 47.5 in June, below expectation of 50.0. Current Situation Index fell from -72.3 to -73.8, below expectation of -69.0.
Eurozone ZEW Economic Sentiment rose from 47.0 to 51.3, above expectation of 47.2. Current Situation Index was unchanged at -38.6.
ZEW President Professor Achim Wambach said: “Both the sentiment and the situation indicators stagnate. These developments must be interpreted in the context of a constant situation indicator for the eurozone as a whole. In contrast, the inflation expectations of the respondents increase, which is likely related to the inflation rate in May, which turned out higher than what was expected.”
