AI Data Insight

The Eurozone ZEW Economic Sentiment Index for Q2 2026 reached 9.5, strongly surging 18.6 points from the previous -9.1 and far exceeding the market consensus of -7.2. Benefiting from the de-escalation of the Middle East situation and the pullback in oil prices, inflation expectations dropped significantly, successfully driving investor optimism for a second-half recovery. Despite this, the current situation index remains weak, and the restoration of real economic momentum will be the key going forward.
