Despite isolated rays of hope from Asia, the global economic situation remains mixed in November, with the eu-rozone in particular showing renewed weakness. The overall indicator for Eurozone falls by 2.0 points to -7.4. Both the current situation and investor expectations are deteriorating. In Germany, downward forces are prevail-ing: the index fell by 2.4 points, driven by a decline in expectations (-3.3 points). In Asia, on the other hand, op-timism prevails. Japan recorded its third consecutive increase, and the Asian region excluding Japan also remains clearly on course for growth. The US, on the other hand, continues to tread water, weighed down by the effects of the ongoing government shutdown.
