Weak French & Italian Industrial Production Levels

As can be seen on the two graphs below, the monthly French and Italian Industrial Production Levels that were reported today are sharply weaker than the prior month's levels...something to watch over the coming months to see if this level worsens.

As described by www.ForexFactory.com, "It's a leading indicator of economic health -- production reacts quickly to ups and downs in the business cycle and is correlated with consumer conditions such as employment levels and earnings."
