GERMAN DATA
GERMAN DATA: More details on that German data...whereas the French data had
details that didn't look too bad, the German details are terrible. Struggling to
find any positives in the press release whatsoever...more from the press release
below:
- "Growth of business activity in the service sector slowed sharply since August
to one of the weakest rates seen over the past three years"
- Manufacturing "recording an eighth straight monthly decrease in output and the
steepest rate of decline since July 2012"
- "Sharpest decline in business conditions across the goods-producing sector
since the depths of the global financial crisis in mid-2009."?
- "According to anecdotal evidence, the story remained one of uncertainty and
concerns about the economic outlook leading to client hesitancy and a reduced
appetite for investment. The automotive sector was once again highlighted as a
particular source of weakness. Lower demand from abroad also remained a key
factor, with both manufacturers and service providers reporting notable
decreases in new export orders during the month."
