(Reuters) – German industrial production unexpectedly fell in November compared to the previous month, the federal statistics office said on Tuesday, marking the sixth monthly decline in a row.
Industrial production fell in November by 0.7% compared to the previous month. Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted a 0.2% rise.
The statistics office revised data for October to a 0.3% decline in industrial output on the month, instead of a 0.4% drop.
The less volatile three-month on three-month comparison showed that production was 1.9% lower in the period from September to November than in the previous three months, the office said.
