FRANKFURT AM MAIN: Investor confidence in Germany unexpectedly soared to a 20-year high in September despite a resurgence in coronavirus cases and Brexit tensions, a key survey showed Tuesday. The ZEW institute's monthly barometer measuring investor expectations in Europe's largest economy leapt to 77.4 points, the highest reading since May 2000.
The figure marked a rise of 5.9 points from August, when confidence hit a near 17-year high. The reading surprised analysts who were expecting a fall in German investor confidence to 70.0 points this month, according to a survey by FactSet.
