German economy minister warned of five tough years and that bleak outlook could weigh on the euro.

The Chicago PMI was softer-than-expected but has yet to benefit from increasing aircraft orders.

The manufacturing part of the economy is still in contraction territory and the recovery will likely be unbalanced. </span></p>
