Deutsche Industrieproduktion sinkt nach dem Vor-Tarif-Schub

Germany's industrial output fell more than expected in June as the positive impact from companies rushing to beat U.S. tariffs waned, while exports rose more than expected.

German industrial production fell in June by 1.9% compared with the previous month, the federal statistics office said on Thursday. Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted a 0.5% fall.

German exports rose by 0.8% in June compared with May, data from the statistics office also showed. Analysts in a Reuters poll had expected a 0.5% increase.

However, exports of goods to the United States fell 2.1% compared with May in a third consecutive decrease to the lowest value since February 2022.
