ANALYST COMMENT
THOMAS AMEND, HSBC TRINKAUS:
‘This is in ~ degree disaster after the two very good months before.
There were fewer bombastic ticket orders this time. So the minus
shouldn’t worry us also much. Orders books are still well filled.
‘But we need to have existence careful looking ahead to the future. The
forward-looking indicators propose the high point has been
passed — not just in Germany, worldwide. That’s well-adapted to weigh
on German industry. We reached the growth high give ~ to mark
mid-year. The momentum will ease in the next not many months though.’
RALPH SOLVEEN, COMMERZBANK
‘The slight decrease is not a lead to for concern. We had very
strong increases in March and April so a small correction is not
unusual. Industry is going very well in ecumenical. The development
of orders signals that the recovery is continuing.
‘We testament have a healthy increase in the second quarter –
for industry and despite the economy as a whole. Industrial
developments in the coming months should have existence positive. We think
the global economy will continue to grow. At the identical time, our
competitiveness has increased due to the weaker euro. Cheap
central bank currency is also helping.’
CARSTEN BRZESKI, ING FINANCIAL MARKETS
‘Today’s verse should be seen as a pure technical
correction which had to occur at more point in time after an
impressive rally. The uptrend of the German efforts remains
firm and should continue in the coming months, though at slower
amble . However, with industrial confidence still improving, order
books still filling and increasing hiring intentions, somewhat
slowdown in the coming months should be mild.’
