Eurozone consumers should keep feeling better about the economy and their own financial situation as inflation eases further, Pantheon Macroeconomics' Melanie Debono said.

It should continue to improve over the coming months as wages rise and household lending rates ease in anticipation of a cut to rates by the European Central Bank, Debono wrote in a note. "We remain hopeful that a rebound in consumer spending, thanks to the recovery in real household disposable income, will support GDP growth over the coming quarters," she said. - Joshua Kirby
