0940 GMT - The economic outlook for Germany points more toward another recession than an imminent recovery, Ralph Solveen at Commerzbank says in a note. The manufacturing sector has shown a few positive signals, with operations proving resilient to Iran war disruptions. Still, sentiment remains on shaky ground, as it does in the services sector, Solveen says. Meanwhile a rebound in the construction sector appears to be running out of steam, dragged by a fall in new orders. Sentiment in the retail sector also looks rather gloomy among both businesses and consumers, with sales on a downward trend. "The war in Iran and the resulting sharp rise in energy prices are weighing on sentiment among businesses and households," Solveen says. (don.forbes@wsj.com)
