The consumer confidence in the Eurozone turned quite negative in summer last year, as the trade war peaked and the global economy was weakening. That was the low, but it has been improving since then. It bottomed at around -44 points for the Eurozone and Germany, but improved to -8 points in January.

But now, the consumer sentiment is deteriorating again, although not as much this month, but I’m sure it will deteriorate further in April. Below is the confidence report for the Eurozone economy:

• Final consumer confidence -11.6 vs -11.6 prelim
• Economic confidence 94.5 vs 91.6 expected
• Industrial confidence -10.8 vs -12.6 expected
• Services confidence -2.2 vs -5.0 expected
• Spanish CPI YoY March 0.1%
• February stood at 0.7%
