The latest Eurozone ZEW Economic Sentiment Index for the third quarter of 2026 jumped to 31.4, not only far exceeding the previous value of 23.4 but also beating the market consensus of 25.4. With stellar quarterly corporate earnings and an export recovery, economic confidence has strengthened for three consecutive months. However, low water levels in the Rhine River and geopolitical risks in the Middle East still add uncertainty to the subsequent recovery.
