German investor morale plummets on trade fears: ZEW
FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Oct 16, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – German investor confidence
plunged sharply in October, the ZEW economic institute said Tuesday, as
German export firms fret over a worsening trade spat between China and the
United States.
The ZEW’s closely-watched monthly barometer fell by 14.1 points to -24.7,
the steepest drop recorded since Britain voted to leave the European Union in
July 2016.
