Just caught the latest EU industrial production numbers and they're a bit mixed. So February saw a 0.4% bounce in both the euro area and EU compared to January, which is decent after that rough January when production dropped 0.8% and 0.9% respectively. But here's the thing - when you compare year-over-year, the picture gets softer. February 2026 industrial production was actually down 0.6% in the eurozone and basically flat (-0.1%) across the EU. Intermediate goods held up okay with a 0.5% bump, but energy production took a hit, falling 2.1%. So basically we got a rebound from the January slump, but the longer-term trend still looks weak. Could be worth watching if manufacturing can sustain this momentum.
