New (global) hope

The October data from the sentix economic index paints a surprisingly positive picture of the international economy. Across all regions, the more than 1,100 professional and private investors surveyed reflect an improvement in the situation and expectations. This is particularly surprising given the shutdown that has begun in the United States. Mixed signals are also coming from the eurozone. Germany in particular continues to face strong headwinds, as reflected in the real data. Investors appear to have overreacted somewhat pessimistically in September. However, the Asian region is also making an increasingly positive impression.
