Eurozone’s investor sentiment continues to improve as a trend in June, the latest data published by the Sentix research group showed on Monday.
The gauge rose to 28.1 in June from 21.0 in May vs. a reading of 26.0 expected. The index advanced for the fourth straight month on reopening optimism.
The Sentix current conditions index jumped to 21.3 points in the reported month.
In Euroland, expectations eased from all-time highs to 35.3 points.
Manfred Huebner, Managing Director of Sentix, said: " The eurozone is increasingly leaving the painful losses of the Corona year behind. However, there is a downside to the strong economy and that is foreseeable rising prices."
EUR/USD reaction
The shared currency failed to find any support from the upbeat Eurozone Sentix data, as EUR/USD keeps losses near 1.2150.
The spot faltered its recovery near 1.2170, as the US dollar rebound remains intact.
