UK industrial output unexpectedly falls in June

British industrial output unexpectedly eased in June as the production of oil and gas and mining fell, official data showed on Thursday. Industrial output fell 0.4 percent in June, against expectations for a 0.1 percent rise and from a 0.3 percent increase in May, the Office for National Statistics said. There was a broad slowdown in oil and gas production, partly due to maintenance in a major oil field, the ONS said.
