In October, the sentix Euro Break-up Index (EBI) falls by 4.5 percentage points to a new all-time low since its launch in June 2012. It now stands at 14.25%. This month’s decrease is the third in a row. Only in January the index had reached a comparably low level at 17.15%. The sentix EBI indicates that it is now about one in seven investors who expects at least one country to leave the euro zone within a year's time.

The decrease of the sentix EBI takes place against the background of prevailing government negotiations in Germany which now head for a grand coalition. Furthermore, negative headlines concerning the euro zone were relatively rare over the past weeks. Rather it was the United States and their budgetary impasse which seized the attention of investors recently.

In October, the composite index for the euro zone drops slightly. This move by -0.4 down to 6.1 points is to be seen as a stabilisation, given the enormous rise of the past month. Meanwhile, the composite index for the US takes a nose-dive. Here, both the current assessment of the economic situation as well as the 6-month expectations of the surveyed investors take strong hits from the budget crisis. But the US remain the only problem child this month. The composite indices for the emerging-markets regions rise strongly. For Japan, optimism also continues to go up. As a result, the composite index for the global aggregate is able to gain ground for the third consecutive month and increases to a reading last seen in February.
