German investor morale fell more than expected to 28.1 points in October, the ZEW economic institute said today, ending a five-month run of improvements, as high energy prices weigh on private consumption and investments.<\/p>\n

Analysts polled by Reuters had expected the reading to slip to 30 from 34.7 points a month earlier.<\/p>\n

“The German economy is slowly emerging from stagnation, but the recovery is not self-sustaining,” said ZEW President Achim Wambach.<\/p>\n

He flagged private consumption and investment remained weak in the face of high energy prices, which put real incomes under pressure, inflate production costs and keep inflation higher for longer.<\/p>\n

However, a reading by ZEW on views of the current economic situation improved more than expected to -35.9 points from -47.1 in September.<\/p>\n

The results were based on survey responses from 178 analysts and institutional investors from October 12 to 19.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
