Industrial output in the eurozone fell in June in an uncomfortable drop that suggests the economic boom may not be as strong as analysts hoped.
Germany’s monthly output fell by 1.1pc while Ireland’s crashed by 7.5pc in the choppy short-term index. French industrial output dropped 1.2pc.
Among the larger economies growth was recorded in Italy, at 1.1pc, and the Netherlands, at 1.2pc.
Output fell by 0.6pc in June compared with May, led by a 1.9pc tumble in the production of capital goods and a 1.7pc fall in consumer durables.
That pulled the annual growth figure down to 2.6pc, Eurostat said, below the 2.8pc economists had anticipated.
