Market attention is currently focused on the release of the ZEW economic survey results, according to an assessment by Helaba bank. Analysts anticipate a notable decrease in the balance of expectations for economic development in Germany, with current assessments also expected to be weaker than in the previous month-a development likely to negatively influence the upcoming Ifo business climate index.
Later in the day, U.S. inflation data will come into focus. Helaba suggests a risk that monthly inflation, influenced by tariff policies, could reach 0.3 percent, bringing the annual rate close to three percent. This outcome, analysts say, would preclude any strengthening of expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
