Japan and the US contra the emerging markets
Economic expectations for the Eurozone remain resilient as investors perception about the future development of Japan continues to deteriorate.

The headline index for the Eurozone marginally raises by +0.5 points to +6.2 points. Overall investors draw a rather non-dynamic picture about the economic condition of the Eurozone as expectations remain unchanged and the perception of the current situation with a change of +1 point displays weak momentum.

Eurozone cooling, global stabilisation
The sentix Economic Index for the Eurozone continues to fall in March 2016. The overall index looses 0.5 points to +5.5 points. The overall Eurozone decline is caused by a deteriorating current situation (the value is down by 2.2 points) whereas the expectation value advances by 1.3 points. A look abroad gives more reasons to cheer this time: values for Asia ex. Japan could recover the second month in a row. Moreover, the US economy exhibits resilience in March as the current situation value rises to 21.75 points (up by 4.75 points). In total, the overall US index rises to 5.8 points. Moreover, the global index finally gains ground on the back of a recovery in Asia ex. Japan, Eastern Europe as well as in Latin-America.

Global economy on the brink
Who thought the collapse of sentix-economic indices in January were a one-time event will be disappointed with the February data. Although the values for Asia ex Japan recover something, this month results do not shape a fundamentally new image. In particular, the loss of momentum in Germany and the United States weighs heavily and stresses that the global economy is now in a very fragile state.

After New Year’s Eve yet another china cracker
That’s not what many investors have expected: right at the start of 2016, investors have to farewell certainties of 2015. Dark clouds arise in the east and could carry more than just light showers. it seems undoubtedly reasonable that the Chinese business cycle face a period of significant slow down, rather it seems like a hard landing. Such a scenario would not pass the Eurozone without damage.

No ECB money, no funny
Economic expectations for the Eurozone continue to rise contrary to the global trend. Amid slightly lower growth in global economic momentum, the Eurozone stands out. Explanations should be found in the latest ECB statement. The December round of ECB stimulus felt short of expectations, however, the embracement of ECB’s “whatever it takes massage” has worked yet again. Without more ECB stimulus the Eurozone would most likely be in accordance to the global outlook.

Economic expectations collapse globally
In September, the sentix Economic Indices drop significantly driven by strongly falling indicators for Japan and for Asia ex Japan. Against the background of the turbulences in China investors cut back strongly their assessments and expectations regarding these regions' economies. Furhermore, the rest of the world enters the maelstrom. While for Latin America and Eastern Europe ever darker clouds gather now also the economic expectations for the hitherto stability anchors, the US and the euro area, fall markedly.
