Germany's industrial output plunged 1.9% in June, far exceeding analyst expectations of a 0.5% decline. The drop marks the lowest production levels since May 2020, when Covid-19 lockdowns crippled economic activity.

Revised data erased earlier signs of recovery, with May's provisional 1.2% growth corrected to a 0.1% contraction. The automotive sector's downward adjustments proved particularly damaging to the quarterly figures, which show a 1.0% decline in Q2.

Export challenges loom large as U.S. tariff threats and Chinese manufacturing competition intensify. The downturn reflects broader weakness in industrial orders, suggesting sustained pressure on Europe's largest economy.
