German factory orders advanced more than predicted in March
Europe's biggest economy's factory orders accelerated more than estimated in March as the demand from countries outside Euro region relieved the negative effect from debt turmoil. Adjusted factory orders climbed 2.2% in March compared to previous month. Economists questioned by Bloomberg expected only a 0.5% gain. On yearly basis, however, factory orders have declined 1.3%.
