Hungary's Industry Shrinks More Than Expected on Battery Woes
Hungary is struggling to turn its industrial sector around, data showed Friday, as weakness in battery production continues to pull back manufacturing. Industrial output declined 2.6% in May compared to a year earlier, the Budapest-based statistics office said. That was substantially worse than any of the forecasts in a Bloomberg survey, where the median projection was for a 1.5% contraction. Month-on-month, production was 1.3% lower.

German industrial orders fall 1.4% in May
July 4 (Reuters) - German industrial orders fell much more than expected in May due to a one-off effect, official data showed on Friday. Orders declined by 1.4% on the previous month on a seasonally and calendar adjusted basis. A Reuters poll of analysts had pointed to a fall of 0.1%. The slump was primarily due to the substantial decline of 17.7% month-on-month in orders in the computer, electronic and optical products sector, where several large-scale orders were recorded in April. Furthermore, strong decreases were also observed in the electrical equipment and basic metals sectors. Foreign orders rose by 2.9% on the month, with orders from the euro zone decreasing by 6.5% and orders from outside the euro area increasing by 9.0%. Domestic orders fell by 7.8% on the month, the statistics office said. The less volatile three-month on three-month comparison showed that new orders in the period from March to May were 2.1% higher than in the previous three months.
