CBI Industrial Orders
The gauge of industrial orders in the United Kingdom probably remained unchanged at a reading of 3 during the three months to December, according to expectations. This indicator reflects the net balance between companies, that registered an increase in industrial orders during the respective period of three months and those, that registered a drop. It is the oldest indicator, released from the UK private sector, to show the development tendency in countrys industrial sector. The Industrial Trends Survey by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) provides expert qualitative opinion from senior manufacturing executives, on past and expected trends in output, exports, prices, costs, investment intentions, business confidence and capacity utilization. A level above zero suggests that volume of orders is projected to increase, while a level below zero indicates that expectations point to lower volumes. If the survey showed predominant optimism, this would have a bullish effect on the sterling. The CBI will announce the results from its survey, encompassing 17 industries, at 11:00 GMT.
