A Thursday NIM/GfK survey showed Germany's consumer confidence index rose MoM to -26.6 in early September from a revised -29.4 in August, beating a -29.6 consensus. The gain was driven by income expectations moving into positive territory and an improved economic outlook. NIM said the index remains more than 6 points below year-ago levels but has risen for a fourth consecutive month, indicating a modest uptrend.
