German ZEW Economic Sentiment Index climbed to 34.2 against a 30 consensus, marking a sharp rise from 26.3 and pointing to improved forward expectations among analysts.

The data mix left short-term rate expectations largely unchanged ahead of today’s releases.
The Day Ahead
Netherlands unemployment rate for July is due at 20:30 ET, followed by German producer price index year-over-year at 22:00 ET. French business confidence, S&P Global composite, manufacturing and services PMI flashes are scheduled for 22:45-23:15 ET, with German manufacturing, services and composite PMI flashes following at 23:30 ET. The German PPI print carries medium impact and could influence inflation expectations given the Eurozone CPI reading of 2.90 percent.
French and German PMI outcomes will provide the first flash signals on third-quarter activity across the two largest economies. Markets will also monitor any follow-through from recent warnings on fiscal slippage in France. No ECB speakers are listed.
Other Economic Notes
French government borrowing costs reached levels unseen since 2008, with 10-year yields climbing amid investor concerns over budget implementation and debt sustainability. Broader European bond markets have sold off on combined inflation and fiscal risks, pressuring peripheral spreads. Eurozone unemployment stood at 6.30 percent in June, providing a stable labor backdrop even as growth indicators remain mixed.
