United Kingdom CBI Industrial Trends Orders
The Industrial Trends Survey of total order book balance conducted by the Confederation of British Industry in the United Kingdom tracks changes in the volume of factory orders from around 500 enterprises across 38 sectors of the manufacturing industry. Domestic and export orders, inventories, prices, investment plans, and output predictions are included in the poll. Manufacturers have questioned whether the current situation is above normal, normal, or below normal for each variable. The results are presented as a weighted percentage balance, which is the difference between the percentage of respondents who answered more or higher on each question and the proportion who answered less or lower on each question.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the GBP while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the GBP.
