The eurozone Sentix index rose to -5.9 in April, up from -10.5 in March.<\/p>\n<p>The data comes ahead of the ECB&#8217;s interest rate decision on Thursday, where the central bank is expected to leave rates on hold at 4% and could signal a June rate cut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound (GBP) is flat as wage growth slows Wages grow at the slowest pace in 3 years Euro (EUR) is flat despite more robust German industrial production Eurozone investor sentiment improves The Pound Euro (GBP\/EUR) exchange rate is holding steady on Monday after modest losses last week.
