Are they coming or not, the U.S. punitive tariffs? The decision has not yet been made and it is therefore not surprising that the sentix economic indices hardly changed in May. Nevertheless, the sentix economic index for the euro zone fell slightly for the fourth month in succession to 19.2 points. This trend also determines the global picture. We are only measuring slight improvements for the USA and Asia ex Japan. Investors are obviously hoping for a positive outcome to the bilateral trade talks between the two nations.
