German investor morale dips on Brexit worries

Unease about Britain's EU farewell sent the mood among German investors plunging in July to its lowest since November 2012, according to the first major sentiment snapshot of the post-Brexit era in Europe's largest economy.
The Mannheim-based ZEW institute said on Tuesday its economic sentiment index sank to -6.8 points in July from 19.2 in June. That reading compared with a Reuters consensus of 9.0 and was lower than any of the economists polled had predicted.
"Uncertainty about the vote's consequences for the German economy is largely responsible for the substantial decline in economic sentiment," ZEW President Achim Wambach said.
The plunge in morale to a level not seen since the euro zone was in the throes of economic crisis prompted some concerns that German growth could weaken at a time when the traditionally export-oriented economy is already having to increasingly rely on domestic demand.
Worries about the stability of the banking and financial system following the 'Leave' vote in the June 23 referendum in Europe's main financial center could also take their toll on Germany, Wambach said.
The ZEW index was based on a survey of 220 analysts and investors conducted from July 4 to 18, giving participants time to make an initial assessment of the impact Brexit could have.
Britain is Germany's fifth-biggest trading partner for goods and the German chamber of commerce has cut its forecasts for exports there, while the VDMA engineering association expects Brexit uncertainty to reduce demand for German goods.
The ZEW separate gauge of current conditions fell to 49.8 points from 54.5 in June — also below the Reuters consensus forecast for a reading of 51.8.
OVERDONE?
A broader take on fallout from Brexit will emerge on Wednesday, when euro zone consumer confidence data is due. Economists polled by Reuters have forecast a decline.
Florian Hense, economist at Berenberg in London, said while post-Brexit market movements had been "relatively orderly" so far, the weak ZEW survey would worry policymakers at the European Central Bank.
President Mario Draghi would probably "take a dovish tone" at the bank's news conference after its rate-setting meeting on Thursday, Hense said.
But he also cautioned that sentiment data could "overreact to uncertainty more than hard economic data", and the euro zone economy should emerge relatively unscathed "as long as the contagion risk is contained".
Thomas Gitzel, economist at VP Bank, agreed Tuesday's headline ZEW reading might be disproportionate.
