Investor confidence index up in January
State Street Global Markets has announced that its global investor confidence index has risen for the second consecutive month in January, from 81.4 in December (revised from a previously announced 80.9) to 86.8. This rise is largely the result of an improvement in the confidence of North American institutional investors, whose confidence index has risen from 78.5 in December (instead of the 77.8 initially announced) to 86.3.In Asia, the confidence index rose by 3.9 points, to 91.0, while appetite for risk on the part of European investors has fallen, to 89.6 from 94.1 the previous month (which had previously been announced at 95.2).
