Euro area industrial production fell 0.1% MoM in July, Eurostat said,
highlighting an uneven recovery. Manufacturers remain pressured by rising energy
costs despite some improvement in demand. S&P Global PMIs showed manufacturing
activity recovered in July and accelerated to its fastest pace in over four
years in August; the divergence with official output figures partly reflects
weakness in several major industrial economies. Germany's industrial output
slipped 1.5% MoM in July; France's fell 0.4% MoM.
