Despite the monthly decline, industrial activity remained positive over the broader period, with second-quarter production rising 0.4% from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">On an annual basis, the picture was mixed. The calendar-adjusted industrial production index declined by 0.6% compared with June 2025, indicating a slight contraction in underlying manufacturing activity. The comparison takes into account the different number of working days, with June 2026 having 21 working days versus 20 in the same month a year earlier.\u00a0Meanwhile, the unadjusted industrial production index increased by 2.4% year-over-year, supported in part by the more favorable calendar effect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The data suggest that Italy&#8217;s industrial sector continues to struggle with uneven demand and a challenging economic backdrop, despite managing to post modest growth over the second quarter as a whole. The monthly decline in June highlights the fragility of the recovery and points to lingering weakness across parts of the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The data will not influence the ECB interest rate outlook as the central bank remains focused on inflation and the Middle East developments. Right now, the market is pricing a 73% probability of a rate hike at the September meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy&#8217;s industrial sector lost momentum in June, with production declining on a monthly basis after posting modest gains during the second quarter.\u00a0Italy&#8217;s seasonally adjusted industrial production index fell by 1.0% in June&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-435579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435579","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=435579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435579\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
