MNI (London)

GERMANY APR FACTORY ORDERS -2.7% M/M, -6.2% Y/Y; MAR -4.2r%

  • The German Statistics Office stated that this third month of contraction is on the back of escalations in the Ukraine war, as demand for capital goods slumped a further 4.3% as economic uncertainty grew. Consumables also saw a decline, of 2.6%.
  • The latest factory orders release foreshadow the closely watched German IP due tomorrow and imply downside surprises to the data set.
