Exports rose by 0.9% to 137.9 billion euros, driven primarily by increased demand from the United States and China. The Federal Statistical Office reported these figures, which exceeded economists' expectations of a 0.3% decline. Imports, however, decreased by 2.5% to 118.8 billion euros. While analysts like Alexander Krüger from ABN Amro noted the resilience of German exports despite global economic challenges, others such as Thomas Gitzel from the VP Bank cautioned against interpreting the growth as a trend reversal, citing ongoing trade barriers and U.S. tariffs.

Concerns remain over potential disruptions from renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with reports of renewed military actions.
