The German Industrial Production rose by a large 3.7% versus expectations of 0.5%.  This was the largest month on month gain in 16 years.  Industrial Production has been down 7 of 8 months.  The rise this month indicates that the worst may be behind the German economy. However, the gain is still off  a low level. On a year on year basis IP is down -17.9%.

Nevertheless, the gain  has helped the EURUSD move higher on the day.  The pair has moved above the 100 and 200 bar MA on the 5 minute short term chart.  The levels come in at the 1.3905-1.3907 level.  This is the second test post the number.  If the level holds the upside is preferred as the up and down movements continue.
