- Monthly EZ industrial production rebound in Aug and rose by more than markets
expected, reaching a three months high. 
- Annual production, on the other hand deteriorated further, reaching the lowest
level since Dec 2018 
- While capital goods (1.2%) and intermediate goods (0.3%) were the only
categories revealing a positive rate, energy (-0.4%), durable consumer (-0.4%)
and non-durable consumer (-0.3%) goods saw m/m declines. 
- Among the member states, Malta (5.6%), Estonia (3.9%) and Latvia (3.0%) posted
the largest monthly gains.

rebound might not mark the start of a turnaround.
