German industrial orders jumped in June for the second month in a row on the back of major contracts despite the downturn dragging on Europe's top economy, official data released Friday showed. New orders, closely watched as a predictor of future industrial activity, rose by 7.0 percent month-on-month after 6.2 percent in May, federal statistics agency Destatis said.
