A measure of Euro-zone investor confidence improved much more than expected for the April period. The Sentix index rose to -35.3 from -42.7. The current economic situation rose to a reading of -55.25 from march's -59.75, while the future expectations index climbed to -12.5, an increase of 11 points compared to the previous month. Investors improved their outlook as a rally in global stocks in March helped fuel a sense that the worst of the recent downturn may be behind us.

For September
Provided by: Sentix

The Sentix investor confidence index deteriorated to -20.2 for September, a fall of almost 5 points and the worst overall level in more than 5 years. The current conditions sub-gauge led the declined dropping to -12.0 from 0.0 in August. The measure of expectations for the next six month edged up to -28.0 from -29.5. The Sentix index is seen as a bellwether for the ZEW institute's gauge of German investor sentiment. Investors are concerned that the Euro-zone is in facing recessionary conditions. The 2nd quarter saw negative GDP growth and with data so far for the 3rd quarter not being very encouraging, it is a real possibility.
