Key points
Economic expectations for Germany have been overshadowed by Trump’s victory and the collapse of the German government coalition.
Economic sentiment has declined – and the outcome of the US presidential election is likely to be the main reason for this.
More optimistic voices were heard in the last survey days, expecting economic prospects for Germany to improve with snap elections on the horizon.
Overall, what we’re currently observing is a very dynamic development of economic expectations.
Market reaction
The EUR/USD pair remains in negative territory after the downbeat German and Eurozone ZEW surveys. The pair is shedding 0.29% on the day to trade near 1.0620, at the press time.
