That's a rather disappointing report as the German economy barely escapes a recession and the headline here is weighing on the euro. Lawmakers were quite certain that the economy held up in Q1 so this is a poor reflection of confidence by all accounts. EUR/USD is falling back under 1.1000 to fresh session lows of 1.0985 now.
