Sentix: Optimistic beginning to the year – worldwide stabilisation persists

Positive Outlook Marks the Start of 2026 for Investors

As 2026 begins, investor confidence is on the rise worldwide. According to the latest sentix economic index, sentiment has improved across nearly every major region. Although the eurozone—and Germany in particular—continues to face ongoing structural hurdles, there are early indications that conditions may be stabilizing. Meanwhile, both the United States and especially Asia are emerging as key drivers of renewed economic momentum.

The sentix economic index for the eurozone climbed by 4.4 points, reaching -1.8 points, its strongest reading since July 2025. In Germany, there are also subtle signs of improvement, hinting at a potential turnaround.
