Eurozone Industrial Production Shows Resilience, But Outlook Clouds: ⑴ Despite market concerns over Trump's tariff rhetoric, Eurozone industrial production unexpectedly grew in July, with output edging up 0.3% month-over-month, reversing a 0.6% decline in June. ⑵ German industrial production performed particularly well, increasing by a significant 1.5% month-over-month, demonstrating its resilience as Europe's industrial engine amidst high global energy costs and intensifying competition from Asia. ⑶ Institutions noted that despite the positive overall data, caution remains about the potential dampening effect of US tariff rhetoric on export demand. Furthermore, since early April, Eurozone industry has grown in two of the four months, albeit by only 1.8%. ⑷ Notably, natural gas prices in Europe are retreating, primarily due to stable supplies from Norway and liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as European natural gas inventories reaching 80.6% capacity, providing confidence in winter supplies. ⑸ Furthermore, the European carbon market benchmark contract remained virtually flat, demonstrating that market sentiment in the energy and industrial sectors is fluctuating between positive data and uncertainty.
