Investor Sentiment in Euro Zone Declines More Than Anticipated

BERLIN (Reuters) -The Sentix index gauging investor morale in the euro zone fell to -7.4 in November from -5.4 in October, below the -6.0 forecast by analysts polled by Reuters.

The survey of 1,069 investors from November 6-8 showed the assessment of the current situation deteriorated to -17.5 in November from -16.0 in October, Sentix said on Monday.

Economic expectations for the next six months also declined, falling to 3.3 in November from 5.8 in October.

"The eurozone continues to languish, with no signs of momentum for the future," said Sentix in a statement.

"As a result, the path to 2026 seems to be predetermined: the Eurozone economy is unable to emerge from its slump."

In Germany, Europe's largest economy, the overall index fell to -20.4 from -17.9, driven mainly by a decline in expectations to -0.5 from 2.8.
