Datos Eurozona y Alemania

 

Adiós Eurozona . Alemania se rompió

• El índice general de la zona euro cayó 4,6 puntos hasta -17,5 puntos en diciembre. Este es el valor más bajo desde noviembre de 2023. Tanto los valores de situación como de expectativas están disminuyendo. En particular, los valores de situación se precipitan hacia la zona roja profunda con -28,5 puntos, el valor más bajo desde noviembre de 2022.
• Grave decepción por los datos alemanes: tras el anuncio de nuevas elecciones para el Bundestag alemán, no hay sentimiento de optimismo. Los valores de situación caen hasta -50,8 puntos, el nivel del índice más bajo desde junio de 2020 (!). La recesión sigue siendo omnipresente, sobre todo porque los valores esperados han caído 0,8 puntos.
