NATGAS
German industrial gas demand dipped below last year’s level in August amid deteriorating sentiment indicators and weak global demand, according to ICIS.
- The fall is counter to most months this year showing German industry demand greater than in the same month last year.
- Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action said last week that “industrial activity is likely to remain subdued in the coming months” and "a noticeable recovery in the export-oriented industry in Germany is not to be expected in the short term."
- Chemicals industry trade group VCI said “the mood in our industry has noticeably cooled again”.
