Eurozone Consumer Sentiment Clocks in One of Largest-Ever Declines -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-24

12:15 ET -- The four-point drop in the euro zone's consumer-confidence gauge is one of the largest falls on record other than at the start of the pandemic and the Ukraine war, Capital Economics' Andrew Kenningham says in a note. The indicator declined to minus 16.3 in March from minus 12.3 in February, well below its long-term average, suggesting the Iran conflict is already denting consumer sentiment. Oil-and-gas prices surged in the survey period, bond yields rose, and European equities had fallen around 4% compared to February, Kenningham says. However, the good news is that this is a much smaller decline than in March 2022, he says, when confidence fell by more than 12 points after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, eventually reaching a much lower point.
