European Economic Confidence Slumps Most Since Sept. 11 Terrorist Attacks

July 30 (Bloomberg) -- Europeans' confidence in the outlook for the economy 
dropped the most since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as soaring energy costs 
and the euro's advance against the dollar rattled consumers and executives. 

An index measuring sentiment in the euro area fell 5.3 points to 89.5 this 
month, the European Commission in Brussels said today. That is more than 
economists had forecast and the biggest slide since a 6.3 drop in October 2001, 
the month after the attacks in the U.S. 

Rising commodity prices have boosted inflation across Europe, sapping 
consumers' purchasing power and pushing up companies' costs. That is adding to 
pressure on the economy as the global turmoil in credit markets restricts 
access to capital. It also may limit the European Central Bank's scope to 
increase interest rates to fight inflation
