EURUSD gains very slightly after the report. Despite higher industrial production, much lower imports may suggest still sluggish demand across the German economy. The rebound in industrial production in Germany is a good indicator, which is quite contradictory to the strong decline in orders. It is worth mentioning that in September we had a massive increase in transportation orders, which is most likely projecting a recovery in industrial production at this point. Since September, however, orders have been falling sharply, with weak order books and high inventories.
