The author needs to brush up on the economics of international trade. German business doesn't have to "shrug[ing] off the impact of a strong euro". German business is the reason for the strong euro. OTOH, less efficient economies within the Euro Zone (the PIIGS, etc.) are probably struggling -- again.

It's a phony " business climate index, based on a monthly survey of some 7,000 firms"...

Meanwhile US stocks are setting record highs in REAL value...Real value is the best survey you can get.

...who goes especially whacko whenever I catch up on Brexit news (I once surmised that he is actually British - which he did not deny.). Watch me ruin his whole day:

As a British EU negotiator, I can tell you that Brexit is going to be far worse than anyone could have guessed
