That of course follows up from the sharp jump in December (+29.7%) before that. So, it is essentially some normalisation in the data after months of volatile orders having an effect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">If you exclude large orders from the latest data, German factory orders were actually 3.5% in February compared to January. In the less volatile three-month comparison though, new orders in the three months to February were still down 0.8% than in the preceeding three months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Looking at the details, new orders in the automotive industry helped to underpin the bounce in February with 3.8% growth alongside a notable jump in the textile industry (+45.2%). That is however offset by a decline in other vehicle manufacturing (aircraft, ships, trains, military vehicles), which saw a 25.9% drop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Foreign orders were the ones contributing the most, seen up 4.7% on the month. Meanwhile, domestic orders were seen down 4.4% on the month.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior -11.1% The February reading marks a minor bounce after the sharp drop in January, which at the time owed to a steep drop in the orders for the manufacture of metal&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
