On the statistics front, German consumer sentiment has not changed much as the end of the year approaches: the GfK index of household confidence, calculated by the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions (NIM) based on responses from a sample of 2,000 individuals, improved by 0.9 percentage points in the outlook for December, to -23.2 from -24.1 in November, which remains a level of severe crisis of confidence.

Furthermore, the Economic Sentiment Index (ESI) remained broadly stable in November, both in the EU and in the euro area (+0.2 points in both cases to 96.8 and 97, respectively), according to the European Commission's monthly survey.

This near stability is the result of higher confidence in services, retail distribution, and construction, offset by lower confidence in industry, while confidence among households remained broadly stable.

The absence of US currency traders is also being felt on the FOREX, where the euro remains broadly stable against the greenback, at around $1.159/1.16.
