October 2015 UK CBI industrial trends survey report 26 October 2015
– Selling prices -7 vs -7 exp. Prior -8
– Business optimism -12 vs 2 exp. Prior 8
– Export orders -28 vs -24 prior
CBI notes weak exports have been blamed on the strong pound and slowing global demand but there’s been some better activity on the domestic side. It doesn’t mask the fact that orders are at their lowest since June 2013 and exports orders at the lowest since 2009
