Eurozone consumer confidence rises beyond expectations

The Eurozone’s consumer confidence index has risen in September as the spread of the Delta variant was managed and controlled as continent wide lockdown restrictions were eased.
The European Commission said Wednesday that its measure of consumer confidence in the single-currency area rose to -4 (flash) from -5.3 in August.
This reading is better than the market expectation of -5.
Moreover, the Consumer Confidence Indicator in the EU edged higher to -5.2 from -6.3.
