  • GfK Consumer sentiment worsened in September

The last trading session this week brings a weakening of investor sentiment. The DE30 is losing ahead of Jerome Powell's speech at the economic symposium in Jackson Hole.

As for macro data releases, in addition to the symposium itself, PCE readings and the University of Michigan's sentiment will catch investors' attention. In Germany today, we learned the consumer sentiment reading for September, which indicated a drop in sentiment to -36.5 against forecasts of -31.3 and an earlier reading of -30.9.
