Germany's economic sentiment has sharply declined in April, reaching its lowest point in nearly two years due to concerns over US trade policy under Donald Trump. The ZEW Economic Sentiment survey indicated a drop to -14 points from 51.6 in March, missing expectations significantly. The eurozone also saw a decline to -18.5 points. Key sectors affected include automotive and engineering. Despite this, European stock markets rose, driven by reduced concerns over tariffs and expectations of an ECB rate cut.
