Whilst the economy in the eurozone remains stagnant, there are at least signs of a slight economic recovery in Germany – albeit in tiny steps. Across the Atlantic, however, the picture is becoming gloomier: as an initial reac-tion to the recent mid-term elections, investors are anticipating an economic slowdown in the US. It is precisely this decline in economic expectations that points to a loss of the positive momentum seen recently. In Japan, too, the economy is losing momentum. Overall, this adds to the mounting evidence of a global slowdown in growth. The sentix Global Aggregate fell in November for the third month running, reflecting increasing signs of fatigue in the global economy.
