        <Name>German Ifo Sinks European Stocks</Name>
        <Summary>Germany falters, so do European stocks</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
One of the indicators that can help you with your spread betting and contracts for differences is to pay attention to economic data coming out of Germany. As Europe's largest economy, German sentiment influences a great deal of the rest of the European economy. And, right now, the German Ifo is less than stellar, leading to falling European stocks. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="spread bets, CFDs, spread bets stock market, German Ifo, spread betting, contracts for differences, European stocks, economic data Germany" target="_blank" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601084&amp;sid=aQquKSm2Bmg4&amp;refer=stocks" style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Spread bets and CFDs on the stock market should consider this from Bloomberg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px; font-style: italic; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt; ``Investors are very sensitive to any signs of faltering
growth in Germany,'' said Richard Scott, who helps oversee about
$1 billion at Iimia Investment Group in Exeter, England. ``People
have been looking to Europe to take up the U.S.'s previous role
as the engine for global economic growth.''&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</Description>
