EURO and US News
ZEW Economic Sentiment
The reason why some investors care about the German ZEW is because of the leading feeds gotten from data, which has an overview of the economic health of the Eurozone.
However, the analysis was carried out among 274 German Institutional investors about the relative 6month of the economic outlook for the Eurozone. Zentrum fur Europaische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) mainly focuses on the German economy which overshadows the other European zones outlook.
Data that is above 0.0 indicates optimism while any data below shows pessimism. Market analysts tend to understudy the tune of respondents based on the level of diffusion index.
The outcome can be an early signal of the future economic activity in the Eurozone.
The forecast is 20.6 while the previous is 21.0
Core Consumer Price Index m/m
Inflation correlates with consumer prices because inflation is also important to currency valuation. The central bank increases the interest rate as a containment measure when prices are on the increase. The exclusion of energy and food helps the analysts of the bureau of labor to access the change in the price of services and goods that consumers have purchased within a certain period. Food and energy account for a majority of the CPI about a quarter of it. That is why FOMC pays attention to the core data.
Therefore, if the data report is greater than the forecasted, it is good for the currency, but a lower outcome is not suitable for the currency.
The previous data on CPI was 0.2% while the forecast is 0.4%.

Analysts and online brokers are concerned about the stagflation crisis in the economy, and all eyes will be on the CPI and retail sales data during the week.
The Federal Reserve is likely going to reduce the monthly bond purchases in November and later they plan to increase the Interest rate from the following year.
According to some analysts like JP Morgan, they see the stagflation fears as an overblown topic. He sees the increase in energy prices because of both a demand and supply shock. Some banks on Wall Street see also state in their own opinion that stagflation is not a major concern and it won’t act as a barrier to the growth of equities this year.
