FRANKFURT, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Investor morale in the euro zone edged lower in November, underscoring expectations for economic stagnation, a survey showed on Monday. 

• The Sentix index for the euro zone fell to 2.4 points in November from 2.7 points in October, compared with an analyst forecast for 2.1 points.

• The current situation subindex remained stable at -3.3 points in November, while economic expectations fell by 0.5 point on the month to 8.3 points.
