- Prior -8.0
Euro area investor morale unexpectedly declined in March - the first time since October - as the index was dragged down by a decline in expectations amid fears of the spring revival in the economy being short-lived. The current situation rose for a fifth month in a row to -9.3 from -10.0 in the previous month while the expectations index fell from -6.0 in February to -13.0 in March.
