Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence turns negative to 3.1 in March
Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index arrives at -3.1 in March from 4.2 in February.
The report shows that the sudden weakness in investors' morale is linked to the escalation of the Iran war, which is weighing on global energy markets. Attacks on energy infrastructure and disruptions to shipping in the Persian Gulf are weighing on sentiment. The sharp rise in oil prices and the associated economic uncertainty are having negative consequences from the investors' perspective.
Market reaction
There seems to be no immediate impact of the sentiment data on the Euro (EUR). As of writing, EUR/USD trades 0.5% lower to near 1.1550 amid weak market sentiment.
