The European Foundry Industry Sen­ti­ment Indic­ator (FISI) moves side­ways in Devem­ber. A minor improve­ment by 0.1 points brings the index to a value of 103.1 points. Thus, it is the second month in a row without major changes in the over­all cal­cu­la­tion. How­ever, single com­pon­ents of the FISI develop differently. 

The European Foundry Industry Sen­ti­ment Indic­ator (FISI) moves side­ways in Novem­ber. A minor improve­ment by 0.2 points brings the index to a value of 103.0 points. While busi­ness expect­a­tions for the next six months have declined again, assess­ments of the cur­rent busi­ness situ­ation sur­pris­ingly increased in Novem­ber. Over­all, both factors equal­ise each other in the cal­cu­la­tion of the FISI.
