German Factory Orders rebound 0.2% MoM in February vs. 0.8% expected

Germany’s Factory Orders rebounded in February, according to the official data published by the Federal Statistics Office on Friday, suggesting that the German manufacturing sector is on track for a recovery.

Over the month, contracts for goods ‘Made in Germany’ rose 0.2%, recovering from an 11.4% slump reported in January, missing the estimates of 0.8%.

Germany’s Industrial Orders tumbled at an annual rate of 10.6% in the same period, compared with the previous decline of 6.2%.

FX implications

Weak German data keep the Euro depressed, as the EUR/USD pair tests lows near 1.0825 ahead of the US Nonfarm Payrolls data release. The pair is down 0.06% so far.

(This story was corrected on Friday at 06:03 GMT to say that "German Factory Orders rebound 0.2% MoM in February vs. 0.8% expected", not -11.3% expected)
