BERLIN, May 10 (Reuters) - Investor morale in the euro zone rose in May to its highest level since March 2018 on all-time high expectations and an upbeat evaluation of the current situation, a survey showed on Monday, suggesting the bloc is overcoming the COVID-19 crisis.

Sentix's index for the euro zone climbed to 21.0 from 13.1 in April. A Reuters poll had pointed to a reading of 14.0.

A current conditions index moved to positive territory, hitting its highest level since May 2019. An expectations index climbed to a record 36.8 from 34.8 a month earlier.

"The economic situation in the euro zone continues to improve," Sentix said, adding that "the recession caused by the corona(virus) crisis has been overcome."
