来自德国经济的积极数据,也有利于较高风险的资产,12月Ifo商业景气指数(Ifo index of business sentiment)连续第二个月上升。
Analysts noted that, while the current assessment component of the Ifo had dropped to its lowest level since June 2010, expectations recorded the strongest monthly increase since July 2010.
分析师指出,尽管Ifo的“当前评估分类指数跌至自2010年6月以来的最低点,但“预期分类指数录得2010年7月以来最强劲的月度增长。
“With a worsening current assessment but improving expectations, today’s Ifo sends a clear message: things will go worse before they get better, said Carsten Brzeski, economist at ING. “It looks as if any contraction of the economy should be short-lived. The survey helped push the euro to an eight-month high against the dollar above $1.33, although it subsequently trimmed its advance. The single currency also reached its best level against the yen since August 2011.
荷兰国际集团(ING)经济学家卡斯滕·布尔泽斯基(Carsten Brzeski)表示:“鉴于‘当前评估’正在恶化而‘预期’出现起色,今日的Ifo传递出一个明确的信息:情况会先恶化再好转。看来,任何经济收缩都应当是短暂的。在这一调查结果的帮助下,欧元兑美元汇率升至1欧元兑1.33美元以上的8个月高点,尽管其随后回吐一部分升幅。此外,欧元兑日元汇率也达到自2011年8月以来的最高水平。
