Germany’s industrial production rose 0.7% in September, but the quarter still ended 0.4% below the previous three months, Destatis reports. August’s increase was revised down to 1.0% from 2.0%, reflecting additional construction data. A 17.1% rebound in automotive output helped September after production changeovers and factory holidays had depressed the prior months. Construction and machinery output fell, leaving the recovery uneven. The monthly gain therefore comes with a weaker quarterly base than the earlier figures suggested.
