BREAKING: DE30 muted after ZEW beat

11:03 AM 21 February 2023

German ZEW indices for February were released today at 10:00 am GMT. Both, economic sentiment and current conditions, indices showed decent beats. Economic sentiment index climbed to the highest level in almost a year. However, reaction of the market was fairly muted with EURUSD and German DE30 ticking slightly lower after the release. 

  • Economic sentiment: 28.1 vs 22.0 expected (16.9 previously)

  • Current conditions: -45.1 vs -50.5 expected (-58.6 previously)

In a commentary, ZEW economists said that while a large fraction of survey participants expect economic situation to improve within next 6 months, current conditions are still seen as relatively unfabourable. ZEW noted that expectations for long-term rates are rising and indicators for the banking sector in the survey are at the highest level since 2004.
