Machinery Orders MoM measures the monthly change in the total value of new orders placed with machine manufacturers. It is considered a highly volatile but crucial leading indicator of business capital spending. Analysts often focus on 'core' orders, which exclude volatile sectors like shipping and electric power utilities.
Data is gathered via a survey of major machinery manufacturers, tracking the value of orders received from domestic and international clients, then adjusted for seasonal variations.
