The industrial order of Germany plunged lower in June, as the biggest drop for almost a year and a half. The trade tensions could cause the U.S. President Donald Trump that could curb the growth of Europe’s largest economy. Made in Germany products dropped by 4.0m percent in June after increasing for 2.6 percent in the previous month, which was the biggest drop since January 2017 that is far from the Reuters poll of 0.4 percent disease. “Disappointing new orders data” signifies a trade tension that may affect the German economy that gives a pessimistic outlook of the second half of the year, according to the ING Bank economist Carsten Brzeski. Overall, the decline of industrial orders was mainly because of 4.7 percent offshore demand with orders outside the country dropping the most. Orders for capital goods and consumer goods came out weakly. However, investor morale in the eurozone grew in the second month in August regarding an all-out trade war between the U.S. and the E.U that calmed down. Germany’s hesitancy to reduce trade surplus adds to trade tensions and adding risks that could affect global financial stability as reiterated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Monday. The IMF encourages the country to boost the domestic demand by rising wages and investment to lessen “global economic imbalances”. Trump also criticized again since the election the strength of German exports.
