Summary

  • Germany’s Economy Ministry said the economy is showing signs of stabilizing, pointing to a firmer backdrop for the recovery it expects in the second half.
  • A US-Iran agreement aimed at easing the conflict, followed by lower oil prices, helped lift both business and consumer sentiment in the ministry’s monthly report published Tuesday.
  • Renewed fighting in the Middle East still clouds the outlook and could derail that expected rebound, leaving Germany’s recovery vulnerable to another energy-price shock.
