Today's Economic Events
| Data | Prior | Cons | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Production Month-over-Month | -1 | 0.30 | 00:00 |
- German industrial production fell 1.1% MoM while French output declined 0.4% MoM, both missing consensus.
- Euro Stoxx 50 dropped 1.58% and DAX fell 1.86% as Brent crude held above 100.

Yesterday's Recap
German industrial production contracted 1.1% MoM against a 0.1% consensus, while exports fell 0.8% MoM. The German trade surplus widened to €21.3 billion, exceeding the €16 billion forecast. French industrial production declined 0.4% MoM versus a 0.3% consensus, and the French trade deficit widened to €6.7 billion.
Equity markets reacted sharply, with the Euro Stoxx 50 closing at 6,311.56 down 1.58%, the DAX at 25,525.12 down 1.86%, and the CAC 40 at 8,156.67 down 1.94%. The German 10-year Bund yield fell 2.51% to 2.97%. EUR/USD rose 0.12% to 1.16 while gold advanced 1.17% to 4,467.60.
Brent crude eased 0.83% but remained at 100.37.
The Day Ahead
Italy releases industrial production month-over-month at midnight, with consensus at 0.3%. The release carries medium impact and follows the string of weak German and French prints. A downside surprise would reinforce growth concerns and support further declines in Bund yields.
No other euro-area data or ECB speeches are scheduled. Traders will monitor any updates on energy prices given Brent’s position above 100. Markets may adjust ECB pricing if Italian figures deviate sharply from expectations.
Other Economic Notes
Rising energy prices have pushed Brent crude back above 100, adding to inflation pressures even as Eurozone CPI stands at 3.30%. Weak industrial readings from Germany and France have already shifted some market focus toward potential ECB easing later in the year. Corporate resilience appeared in Inditex’s 9% currency-adjusted sales growth in August despite heatwave effects.
Broader euro-area growth risks remain elevated after consecutive downside surprises in manufacturing data. No major fiscal announcements emerged to offset the soft activity prints.
Global Macro News
Brent crude’s return above 100 has lifted inflation concerns across Europe and supported gold’s advance to 4,467.60. European equities posted their largest drop since July as markets priced four ECB hikes for 2026. ↓ p.2
