Is this the bounceback we've been waiting for after the giant inventory drawdowns?<br /><br />I guess something (orders) minus nothing (inventory) is positive, regardless how small the orders number is.Matt Plominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322708075100464219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36722043.post-62128281382609531692009-07-08T22:06:11.404-04:002009-07-08T22:06:11.404-04:00Ten industries saw new orders increase with five s...Ten industries saw new orders increase with five showing declines. The issue, and you highlighted this in one of your recent posts,<br /><br /><a href="http://econompicdata.blogspot.com/2009/07/mother-of-all-inventory-corrections.html" rel="nofollow">"Mother of All Inventory Corrections"</a><br /><br />is the five declining issues are contracting at a larger rate than the 10 growing industries.<br /><br />Generally, a new orders index number above 48.8 is consistent with an increase in manufacturing orders. The new orders index for June equaled 49.2 although down from 51.1 in May.<br /><br />In short, I do think it is a pretty positive print. I would like to see the new orders index find some stability though. Lastly, we need to see jobs created and simply not come in at a "less bad" number.David Templeton, CFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782216535717865701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36722043.post-77114032017386941792009-07-08T21:29:14.924-04:002009-07-08T21:29:14.924-04:00Interesting.
So... if new orders increase and in...Interesting. <br /><br />So... if new orders increase and inventories decrease, then that means old orders are finally being filled. If that is the case, then any new order is filled not from inventory, but from production. If new orders are filled from production, then something is actually being produced and the economy is actually moving again.<br /><br />Thoughts?Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946497592651234440noreply@blogger.com
