Germany industrial orders fell 3.8% in April, exceeding the 2% decline predicted by analysts following a revised 4.5% increase in March. This retreat follows a period where firms pulled orders forward to hedge against price increases linked to Middle East tensions. The sharp reversal signals a potential contraction for the German economy during the second quarter.
