Friday’s Factors and Events
German manufacturing orders in January were up 5.5% on the previous month, the German statistics office said on Friday. And they were up 1.4% compared with January 2019. A two-year industrial slump seemed about to end, as fears about possible trade wars were beginning to subside, and the global economy looked like it might recover this year.
Then the coronavirus struck. Germany has become one of the European countries worst-hit by the COVID-19 disease, after Italy and France. But even if it hadn’t, the country’s economy was bound to become one of the main victims of the outbreak because of Germany’s massive exposure to China. Being an export powerhouse has its downsides, and the German automobile industry, in particular, is hit both by disruptions among its suppliers and the fall in Chinese demand for its cars.
