(RTTNews) – German stocks were subdued on Tuesday, with weak industrial output data and caution ahead of U.S. inflation data due later this week keeping underlying sentiment cautious. The benchmark DAX was down about 10 points at 15,667 after ending 0.1 percent lower on Monday. Automakers fell on profit after recent gains, with BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen declining between 0.8 percent and 1.3 percent. Data from Destatis showed earlier in the day that German industrial production logged an unexpected decline in April.

On a yearly basis, the growth in industrial production surged to 26.4 percent from 4.8 percent in the previous month.

BOSTON, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Countries with high Sustainable Economic Development Assessment (SEDA) scores—indicating higher levels of societal well-being—are more resilient and suffered less of an impact in the first year of the pandemic, according to research by Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The finding is based on analysis of data from BCG’s latest SEDA index and the corresponding article, “Economic Resilience Is Built on Societal Well-Being,” being released today. The analysis offers insights and strategies for global leaders gathering for the G7 Summit.
