German term or phrase: Eintrübung der Investorenstimmung
this is from an artcile talking about capital market strategy and problems affecting the world economy.
I think this means something along the lines of "a negative mood amongst investors" - can anyone come up with a better way of saying this? Thanks!

  -> That would perhaps be better. My point was mostly that the mood is not necessarily negative but rather becomming more negative.
