Eurostat released its industrial production data for the Eurozone on Wednesday. Industrial production in the Eurozone fell 0.4% in June, missing expectations for a 0.2% decline, after a 0.4% drop in May.

Intermediate goods declined by 0.5% in June, energy output climbed by 3.3%, while non-durable consumer goods output was flat.
On a yearly basis, Eurozone's industrial production gained 1.2% in June, missing expectations for a 1.5% rise, after a 1.6% increase in May.

Durable consumer goods were up by 0.1%, while energy output was flat.
