Prior +5.6%; revised to +5.7%That’s a huge beat on estimates as German manufacturing orders surged once again in December, after a big jump in November last year as well. A lot of that is to do with a massive increase in large orders though. If you strip that out of the report, new orders were only 0.9% higher than in the previous month.The less volatile three-month comparison shows new orders in Q4 being up 9.5% than in Q3. Excluding large orders, that figure is a 2.5% increase.Looking at the details, the surge in industrial orders in December owes much to significant increases in the production of metal products (+30.2%) and in the important mechanical engineering sector (+11.5%). Besides that, there were also growth in orders for the manufacture of electrical equipment (+9.8%) and in the manufacture of data processing equipment, electronic and optical products (+5.7%).Overall, the preliminary figures show that industrial sales in 2025 were 1.3% lower than in the previous year, adjusted for calendar effects.

💡 DMK Insight
German manufacturing orders just jumped 5.7%, and here’s why that matters: This unexpected surge indicates robust demand, particularly driven by large orders, which can skew the overall picture. Traders should keep an eye on how this affects the Euro, especially if it leads to a stronger economic outlook for Germany. A stronger Euro could impact forex pairs like EUR/USD, where resistance levels around 1.10 might come into play. If the trend continues, we could see a shift in sentiment that favors the Euro against the dollar, especially if U.S. economic data doesn’t keep pace. But there’s a flip side: if these large orders are one-off events, the sustainability of this growth could be questionable. Traders should monitor subsequent data releases for confirmation of a trend. Watch for any shifts in the manufacturing PMI or other economic indicators in the coming weeks, as they could provide clearer insights into whether this is a blip or the start of a more significant recovery.
📮 Takeaway
Keep an eye on EUR/USD around 1.10; strong German orders could push the Euro higher if confirmed by upcoming data.
