Feb Factory Orders Rebound

GERMAN DATA
MNI (London)

GERMANY FEB FACTORY ORDERS +4.8% M/M (FCST +0.3%); JAN +0.5% M/M

GERMANY FEB FACTORY ORDERS -5.7% Y/Y (FCST -9.3%); JAN -12.0% Y/Y

  • German factory orders bounced back in February, jumping +4.8% m/m.
  • This significantly outpaced the modest +0.3% m/m uptick expected, and implies three months now of m/m expansion after having contracted for eight out of 12 months in 2022.
  • A rebound in intermediate and consumer goods drove the February boost and adds to optimism for German IP in the upcoming months.
  • This data comes ahead of tomorrow's German industrial production print, which is expected to largely stall in February. German IP jumped +3.5% m/m in January, as energy-intensive branches saw a marked expansion, assisted by falling energy prices and the introduction of price caps.
