Die wohlkonditionierte EZB-Bazooka betört die Anleger

There are no translations available.

Was sich letzten Monat bereits andeutete, hat sich nun bestätigt: Die Konjunkturerwartungen für Euroland drehen nach oben. Im September war die Aufwärtsbewegung aber deutlich stärker. Auch verbessern sich jetzt die Konjunkturerwartungen für alle übrigen von sentix erhobenen Länder und Regionen und lassen sogar die Gesamtindizes mit Ausnahme Japans überall steigen.
