In August it stood at 2.7, or the lowest level since August 2013. The index is based on results from the SENTIX survey, one of the most prominent surveys, reflecting investors’ opinion in Germany.

Readings above zero indicate that respondents were predominantly optimistic, while readings below zero signify pessimism.
