Factory orders in Germany decline in December
The total number of factory orders in Germany surprisingly fell in December of the previous year, as domestic demand weakened, showing that investors in Europe are still not confident about sustainability of Eurozone's recovery. Orders, including inflation and seasonal factors, were down 0.5% on a monthly basis after a 2.4% jump in November. Economists waited for a 0.2% rise.
