The German ZEW investor confidence fell into negative territory, with the headline reading came in much weaker than expected falling to a 4-year low of -6.8 with the negative reading indicating that pessimists now outnumber optimists. The Brexit referendum clearly left its mark. The current conditions indicator also came in considerably below expectations, falling to 49.8 from 54.5 in June. The sector breakdown showed banks most under pressure at -76.2, down from -61.1 in June. Meanwhile the overall Eurozone ZEW fell by 34.9 points to a reading of -14.7.
