Market Update: UK Factory Orders Gauge Hits 33-Year High
The Confederation of British Industry’s order book balance rose 2 points to +19 in June 2021, the highest level since an all-time high reached in May 1988 and slightly above market expectations of +18, according to the latest monthly CBI Industrial Trends Survey. UK manufacturing output volumes in the three months to June grew at the fastest pace on record and are expected to expand at a quick pace in the coming quarter, driven by the motor vehicles & transport equipment and food, drink & tobacco sub-sectors. In addition, export order books improved to their firmest in more than two years. Meanwhile, manufacturers reported that stock adequacy in June worsened to its weakest since 1977. Additionally, output prices are expected to grow rapidly in the next quarter, with this months outturn marking the strongest expectations since 1982. source: Confederation of British Industry [/s2If]
