Industrial production plunged again, ending the year 2023 at some 10% below pre-pandemic levels, but we are seeing the very first signs of light at the end of a long tunnel. The sharp drop in both exports and imports, as well as today's industrial production, not only illustrates the weakness of the German economy's backbone but also increases the risk of a downward revision of fourth quarter GDP growth.

The German stock market has gone parabolic in an exceptionally strong move, after meandering over the summer months with sub-par economic releases. The surface reason for this division is that the vast majority of German earnings are not driven by the domestic economy but by their multinational operations.

There Could Be A Simple Explanation For The Dax Moonshot Move

The debate over whether Germany is emerging as the 'sick man of Europe' again has picked up steam once again over the summer. In our view, the answer is a resounding yes.

Germany's Economic Health Check Shows Further Signs Of Weakness

The second estimate of second-quarter GDP growth confirms the stagnation of Europe's largest economy and will do very little to end the 'sick man of Europe' debate. According to the just-released data, the German economy stagnated in the second quarter, after two quarters of contraction.

German Stagnation In The Second Quarter Confirmed

Another drop in Germany's most prominent leading indicator, the Ifo index, confirms that the economy is back on a downward trend before any upward trend had actually started. The optimism at the start of the year seems to have given way to more of a sense of reality.

The seasonally adjusted HCOB Flash Eurozone Composite PMI Output Index, based on approximately 85% of usual survey responses, dropped from 49.9 in June to 48.9 in July, its lowest since last November. The dearth of new orders meant backlogs of work fell at an increased rate as companies often relied on previously placed orders to support current operating levels.

Eurozone Flash PMI Signals Cooling Inflation Amid Rising Recession Risks

Eurozone business output growth came close to stalling in June, according to the latest HCOB flash PMI survey data produced by S&P Global, pointing to renewed weakness in the economy after the brief growth revival recorded in the spring. Backlogs of work fell at the steepest rate for seven months, reflecting the sustained (albeit moderating) output growth at a time of falling inflows of new work.

Cash is king in Germany. With inflation running high, we look at the German consumer's ability to increase spending, save less and support domestic growth.

The German DAX broke its 200-day moving average in November of last year. It rose more than 3,000 points off its October low (up more than 26%) and is now technically in bull market territory.

Where Will The Next Vertical Line In Germany's DAX Point?

The German economy grew by 1.9% in 2022, per the German statistical office first estimate. This implies a stagnating, not contracting, economy in the fourth quarter.

German Economy Still Defies Recession

Germany reported the steepest economic contraction while growth in France merely stalled. Excluding pandemic lockdown months, the latest reading was the lowest since April 2013.

House price growth in the eurozone is at its highest since 2006 as housing markets were supported by a limited impact of the pandemic on household finances, rising savings, historically low-interest rates, favorable financing conditions, and changing preferences. The improved macroprudential framework in Europe, increased supply of housing, and bottoming out of interest rates are expected to ease the upward pressures on price growth.

German industrial production's 2.8% month on month increase in October, from -0.5% MoM in September, was only the third monthly increase this year. Industrial production has suffered enormously from global supply chain frictions this year, which have not yet been resolved.

German inflation hit 6% in November, and more is to come before a gradual retreat next year. Higher producer prices on the back of supply chain disruptions and higher commodity prices will continue to impact those of the consumer.
