Main market news on September 23
The US dollar has broken through the key resistance, it failed to cross since March so far. Riskier assets are dipping. Let’s discuss it in detail.
Euro zone sentiment goes down in March
In March, economic sentiment in the European Union headed south for the third month in a row, according to data uncovered by the European Commission on Tuesday. The outcome suggests that economic surge in the European Union wasn’t as steady as previously anticipated.
In March, the Commission's Economic Sentiment Indicator went down to 112.6 from February’s updated outcome of 114.2, which is below the average estimate of 113.4 in a Reuters survey of 34 market experts.
The dismal outcome of economic sentiment paired with diving inflation hopes for customer as well as manufacturers alike, and also earlier data hinting that money supply and loan surge in euro zone had speeded down too, kicked the common currency off a five-week maximum.
Ongoing clashes between Russia and the West and also trade limits recently imposed by Donald Trump have affected markets for the last time. Additionally, they have left their mark on customer and managers all over the world.
As the European Central Bank has recently told, euro zone surge might even outperform hopes in the nearer future, although the sentiment data which is a gauge of a diving trend in Germany, inched down to an 11-month minimum the previous week.
The Commission actually expects the euro zone economy to inch up by approximately 2.3% in 2018 after 2.4% surge the previous year.
The euro zone economy is still driven by the ECB purchasing some 2.5 trillion euro worth of debt for the last three years that has underpinned surge, although has done little to stimulate inflation, staying quite under the major financial intuition’s objective of 2%.
The Commission's Business Climate Indicator, pointing to the phase of the business cycle, went down by more than estimated in March hitting 1.34 versus February’s outcome of 1.48.
