FX.co ★ Eurozone Industrial Confidence Dips in February

The Eurozone industrial confidence indicator slipped to -7.1 in February 2026, edging down from January’s nearly three-year high of -6.8 and missing market expectations of -6.1. The decline was mainly driven by a weaker assessment of finished goods inventories, partially offset by improved views on order books and broadly unchanged production expectations. At the same time, managers reported more positive assessments of recent production trends and export order books, pointing to underlying resilience despite the slight deterioration in overall sentiment.
