What it is
The ifo Institute surveys around 9,000 German firms on their current situation and six-month expectations, distilling the responses into the most-watched business-confidence index in the euro area.
Why it matters to traders
As a forward-looking sentiment gauge for Europe's largest economy, the ifo index often moves the euro ahead of the hard data it anticipates. A rising expectations component signals firms see recovery ahead.
