BERLIN (Reuters) - Investor morale in the euro zone rose in November for the first time since July as investors expected supply bottlenecks and higher prices to hold back the economy only temporarily, a survey showed on Monday.

Sentix's index for the euro zone rose to 18.3 from 16.9 in October. A Reuters poll had pointed to a November reading of 15.5.

"Supply bottlenecks and high inflation are causing problems for companies and are having a certain braking effect," said Sentix Managing Director Patrick Hussy.

"However, investors only expect a temporary burden and are therefore somewhat more confident about the next six months."
