German ZEW economic sentiment (June): up

The German ZEW economic sentiment will probably have risen again in June, but not as sharply as the previous month. The ifo business expectations and the US ISM manufacturing index have both improved.
German yield spreads have widened somewhat, as short-term interest rates have stabilised and long-term rates have gone up. The DAX has continued to recover too. On the other hand, the euro has appreciated and crude oil prices have increased.

Following its usual seasonal pattern, the EMU trade balance will probably have deteriorated slightly in April, just like the corresponding German figure.

Final HICP inflation in the eurozone will probably be confirmed at 0.0% in May; this would correspond with a monthly inflation rate of 0.1%. But year-on-year inflation could also turn out to be slightly positive. As from June, inflation will fall into negative territory for some months.
