German and Eurozone economic sentiments are seeing a revival, as indicated by the notable improvement in ZEW Economic Sentiment Indicators for October. In Germany, Economic Sentiment rose significantly from -11.4 to -1.1, outperforming the anticipated -9.5. Despite this uplift in sentiment, Current Situation Index experienced a minor decline, moving from -79.4 to -79.9, although it still exceeded the expected -80.5.
Today's economic data releases are steering the markets, though it is uncertain how sustained their influence will be. Dollar emerges as the day's strongest performer, buoyed by robust retail sales figures. Australian Dollar trails as the initial lift from RBA minutes dissipates, leaving it in the second spot. Euro is firmer after German economic sentiment data showed Eurozone has passed the lowest point.
