DATA SNAP:Italy Business Confidence Falls To 74 In September

ROME (Dow Jones)--Italian business confidence dropped in September as the outlook for international orders worsened markedly, with the data surprising markets by reversing the past five months' upward trend, figures showed Tuesday.

The business confidence index in the European Union's fourth-largest economy fell to 74 from a downwardly revised 74.4 in August, as sentiment about current demand and output perspectives deteriorated, state-funded research center ISAE said.

The reading was well below a Dow Jones Newswires poll of nine economists, which forecast business confidence to rise to 75.8 in September.

The ISAE business sentiment survey was conducted Sept. 1-17.
