  • expected +0.2% m/m, prior +1.2%
  • expected +3.7% y/y, expected +5.0%

Preview via HSBC:

  • Industrial production has not shown a monthly decline so far this year
  • German manufacturing PMI subcomponent "output" has remained in the region of 60pts
  • We expect the expansion trend in the activity level to continue
