Signs of global easing

Following the sharp downturn in economic sentiment in March and April 2026, triggered by the fallout from the war in Iran and the surge in crude oil prices, the sentix economic indices are now continuing their recovery for the second month in a row. Concerns about a significant economic slowdown have thus eased noticeably. The upward trend is being driven primarily by the US and Asia, where economic prospects are brightening particularly markedly and giving the global economy fresh impetus. The eurozone is also benefiting from this positive international environment, although the recovery here is less dynamic than in the leading economic regions. Germany remains the weakest link in the chain: the persistently subdued economic performance is not only weighing on the domestic economy but is also acting as a brake on the recovery of the entire eurozone.
Headlines of the month
- The sentix economic index for the eurozone continued to recover in June. The overall index rose by 3.0 points, whilst economic expectations recorded an increase of 4.8 points.
- The German economy continues to lag behind the global recovery. The current situation assessment actually fell by a further 0.2 points, reaching its lowest level since February 2025.
- The global picture looks much brighter: the other economic regions are making significant gains, led by the US, whose overall index rose by 5.4 points. Asia is also showing a similarly strong recovery. The sentix Global Aggregate rose by 4.4 points to -+8.0 points. Global expectations rose by a similar margin.
