Eurozone demand keeps German industrial orders afloat

Strong demand for German-made goods from eurozone neighbours offset a drop in domestic orders in May, key factory orders data showed on Wednesday. "Low domestic orders and from non-eurozone countries were made up for by high levels of orders from eurozone countries," the economy ministry said in a statement. Domestic orders fell by 1.9 percent, while foreign orders rose by 1.4 percent, with non-eurozone business slipping by 0.3 percent, while orders from within the eurozone jumped by 4.0 percent
