Why it matters
Orders come before production, so they give an early signal of activity. US durable goods orders without transport, and "core" capital goods orders (non-defence, ex aircraft), are a good guide to business investment. Japan's machinery orders play the same role.
How it is calculated
Manufacturers report new orders in money terms each month; the figures are seasonally adjusted. Aircraft orders arrive in large lumps, so they are often excluded.
What changes mean
- Headline orders swing with aircraft and defence; use the ex-transport or core figures.
- Several months of rising core orders support investment growth in GDP.
Higher than expected: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Swedish krona and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Lower than expected: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Swedish krona tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
A short history
The US Census Bureau's Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories and Orders survey has run since the 1950s.
