Fundamentals

United States

Factory orders in the United States probably rose 2.0% in March on a monthly basis, following a 0.2% increase in the prior month, which ended six straight monthly declines. Excluding the sector of transportation, factory orders rose 0.8% in February, snapping four consecutive monthly contractions.

This indicator presents the total value of new purchase orders, placed at manufacturers for durable and non-durable goods, and can provide insight into inflation and growth in the US manufacturing sector. In case new orders rose more than anticipated, this would have a bullish effect on the greenback. The US Census Bureau will release the official data at 14:00 GMT.

Mexico
