The rise in the euro area confidence indicators likely reflects increasingly loose lockdown measures

The sharp rise in the euro area PMIs as well as the consumer confidence indicators is at odds with the current narrative concerning the euro area. It may actually reflect the fact that lockdown measures are increasingly bypassed and, without any surprise, less and less efficient to stop the pandemic. Hopes are now fully placed in the strong rise in vaccine doses available from April. Financial markets are hesitant: bond yields have stabilized after a strong downward correction and the USD has followed the opposite path. The EUR/USD exchange rate is nearing 1.18.
