What Does It Measure?

Germany's Factory Orders MoM measures the change in the total value of new purchase orders placed with manufacturers. It primarily focuses on the manufacturing sector, assessing demand trends, and serves as a critical indicator for economic activity within the industrial production landscape.

Frequency

This indicator is released monthly, usually on the first business day of the month, presenting the preliminary estimate which can be subject to later revisions.

Why Do Traders Care?

Traders closely monitor Germany’s Factory Orders MoM as it provides insights into the manufacturing sector's health, which can impact the Euro, stock indices, and the broader economic outlook. Positive results often lead to bullish sentiment in currencies and equities, while weak data may generate bearish responses.

What Is It Derived From?

The Factory Orders MoM is derived from a survey of manufacturers that captures the value of new orders, and the data collection methods follow industry standards and are based on actual transaction values rather than estimates. The survey includes a wide array of manufacturers to provide a comprehensive snapshot of industry demand.

Description

Preliminary reports provide early estimates that are subject to revisions once final figures are released, resulting in a more accurate reflection of economic conditions. The month-over-month (MoM) reporting method is employed to analyze short-term fluctuations which can help identify immediate shifts in economic performance.

Additional Notes

Factory Orders MoM is considered a leading economic indicator as it often precedes changes in production and employment. Its performance is closely watched not just within Germany but also by international markets as Germany is a key player in the EU economy.

Bullish or Bearish for Currency and Stocks
