Analysis

A flat headline with positive ex-transportation orders suggests a mixed demand picture. Nominal sales resilience should be assessed alongside real wages, household cash flow and product mix.

What remains uncertain

Orders are volatile and revisions matter. Nominal spending gains do not establish stronger purchasing power or improving repayment.
