BERLIN - Morale among investors in the euro zone dropped in October to its lowest level in more than six years as stimulus measures taken by central banks failed to allay recession fears, a survey showed on Monday.
The Sentix research group said its investor sentiment index for the euro zone dropped to -16.8 in October from -11.1 in September. That was its lowest level since April 2013 and undershot the Reuters consensus forecast for a reading of -13.0. In September, European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi pledged indefinite stimulus to revive an ailing euro zone economy. The ECB cut rates deeper into negative territory and promised bond purchases with no end-date to push borrowing costs even lower.
Investors’ assessment of the current situation plunged to -15.5 from -9.5. That marked a fifth consecutive decline and the weakest reading since the end of 2014.
