October has not brought the desired relief for strained economic expectations yet. The western economies follow emerging markets’ negative parameters. The Eurozone, Germany, the US as well as Japan show lower values for all components of the sentix Economic Index. The only glimmers of hope are the emerging markets, as for now they successfully halted the state of free-fall. Investors observe a stabilising process but on low levels across emerging markets. Asia ex Japan, Eastern Europe and Latin America benefit as economic expectations brighten up.
