The less volatile three-month comparison shows production from March to May 2026 being 0.1% higher than in the three preceding months. Meanwhile compared to May 2025, output remained unchanged in May 2026 (0.0%) after calendar adjustment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">The main reason for the bump in May was due to a significant production increase in the automotive industry (+3.6%). Adding to that was also a notable positive contribution from construction output on the month (+0.9%). Besides that, production in energy-intensive industries (+0.2%) also saw a slight bump up on the month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">The more concise overview shows that the production of capital goods increased by 1.3% and production of consumer goods by 1.2%. That adds to energy production which also increased by 0.8% in May. In contrast, the production of intermediate goods fell by 0.4%.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industrial production +0.9% vs +0.2% m\/m expected Prior +0.4%; revised to +0.2% That&#8217;s a modest bump up in German industrial output for the month of May, following a downward revision to the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-433256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433256\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
