KOF: Global Coincident Barometer Stabilizes in June; Leading Barometer Up

The KOF Swiss Economic Institute said Wednesday the world economy continued to see moderate growth in June as its global coincident barometer remained stable while its leading barometer rose.The Coincident Global Economic Barometer edged up 0.1 point from the prior month to 103.2 points amid a negative contribution from Asia, Pacific & Africa. Meanwhile, the Leading Global Economic Barometer increased 0.9 point to 101.2 points, thanks to the region's positive contribution offsetting the Western Hemisphere's negative contribution."While both remain slightly above average, the leading indicator has been lower than the coincident indicator for the second consecutive month. From a regional perspective, this is solely driven by sentiment in the Asia-Pacific and African regions. There, the outlook is below average, probably reflecting the consequences of the energy shortage caused by the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz," KOF director Jan-Egbert Sturm said.

German Industrial Output Makes Slight Recovery in April; Trade Surplus Shrinks

Industrial production in Germany marginally returned to growth on a monthly basis in April, while the country's foreign trade surplus edged down unexpectedly, provisional data from the Federal Statistical Office showed Tuesday.Production in German industry rose 0.4% month over month in April, following a revised 0.1% dip in March. The seasonally and calendar-adjusted reading was consistent with market expectations.The main contributor to the upside development was a 2.4% monthly gain in the construction industry, while a 2.1% jump in chemical production and a 1.6% uptick in the manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, also had a positive impact. Meanwhile, a 4.7% decline in automotive production weighed down the industry.On an annual basis, German industrial output, adjusted for calendar effects, was 0.5% lower, against the revised 3.4% decrease a month earlier. Excluding energy and construction, production fell 2.1%."All in all, this morning's industrial production data show that the hoped-for industrial rebound in 2026 has been shelved once again. Even the first monthly increase since the war in the Middle East started does not bring new optimism. It is simply too little, and the broader picture still shows a German industry that has stagnated for the last four months," analysts at ING said.Separately, Germany's calendar and seasonally adjusted trade surplus stood at 14.5 billion euros in April, down from the revised 14.7 billion euros a month ago and market expectations of 15 billion euros.Exports edged up 0.9% month over month to 136.6 billion euros, compared with the revised 0.3% uptick in March and the expected 0.3% decline. Monthly imports were 1.2% higher at 122.1 billion euros, against the revised 4.5% growth earlier.Shipments to trading partners in the European Union improved 1%, while imports from these countries inched 0.4% upwards.

Eurozone First-quarter GDP Shrinks on Irish Revision; Job Growth Extends Streak

The eurozone economy unexpectedly swung into contraction in the first quarter after a sharp downward revision to Irish data, while employment in the single-currency area grew for a 20th quarter in a row, data showed Friday.The euro area's gross domestic product edged down 0.2% in the first quarter, Eurostat's third estimate showed, against the 0.1% uptick in the second estimate and the prior three-month period's 0.2% gain. On an annual basis, the economy expanded 0.3%, down from the previous quarter's growth rate of 1.2% and the second estimate of a 0.8% increase.Reflecting how Ireland's large multinational sector impacts regional data, the eurozone's decline was primarily attributed to a steep downward adjustment to Irish GDP, which fell 12.1%, compared with the previously measured 2% drop.France's first-quarter GDP was also recently revised to a 0.1% contraction from an earlier estimate of zero growth. On the flip side, Italy saw its GDP growth tick up to 0.3% from the preliminary reading of 0.2%."Excluding the effect of Irish GDP, Eurozone growth remains remarkably steady at around 0.2% per quarter," Oxford Economics said in a note. "But the Q1 reading was flattered by inventory frontloading ahead of impending supply disruption and higher prices. We think this effect will reverse in Q2."On the labor front, final data from Eurostat confirmed that euro area employment inched up 0.1% in the first quarter, in line with the flash estimate but slowing slightly from the previous three-month period's 0.2% rise. Year-over-year, employment growth moderated to 0.5% from the prior quarter's 0.7%, also matching initial projections.
