- September’s release of Dukascopy Sentiment Index report shows that professors around the world remain pat on the global sentiment, as the corresponding short and long-term gauges were unchanged from the previous month.

- Not only business climate and consumer morale continued to deteriorate in the Euro bloc: experts who participated in the September’s poll have also been losing faith. The short-term outlook has been clouded by dangerously low inflation, historically high unemployment rate, and ongoing geopolitical crisis in Ukraine, which has jeopardized economic growth in the Europe’s number one economy. The ECB was forced to act again in September to save the flagging economy. However, the long term outlook improved slightly.

The US economy continues to show moderate pace of expansion and remains the leader in the region, while Canada’s economy unexpectedly stalled in July, suggesting the pace of the country’s recovery might have eased in the third quarter.
