[South Africa's Private Sector Remains in Contraction in October] The S&P Global South Africa PMI held steady at 49.0 in October, remaining below the 50.0 threshold for the second consecutive month, indicating continued weakness in private sector activity. Output declined at its fastest pace since December 2025, dragged down by weak demand, rising fuel costs, and transport disruptions. New orders continued to fall, but the rate of decline slowed compared to September, while export demand weakened for the first time since May. Employment fell for the third consecutive month, marking the largest drop in six years. Meanwhile, rising fuel costs pushed purchasing cost inflation to a four-month high, and sales price increases were also the fastest in four months. Supply chain delays persisted, but delivery times improved slightly. Looking ahead, economic and geopolitical uncertainties have significantly weakened business confidence, with the expectations index falling to its lowest level since August 2020.

[German Factory Orders Rise 4.4% in September] German factory orders rose 4.4% month-on-month in September 2026, rebounding from a revised 10.1% decline in the previous month, but falling short of market expectations of a 4.8% increase. This is the fastest growth since March, mainly driven by a 10.5% surge in car orders, following two months of weak orders, partly due to production switching and factory shutdowns. Orders for machinery and equipment also rose 8.3%. In contrast, orders for aircraft, ships, trains, and military vehicles fell 10.4%, following strong demand earlier this year. By category, capital goods orders rose 5.3%, intermediate goods rose 0.5%, and consumer goods rose 14.4%. Domestic orders rose 6.6%, while overseas demand rose 2.8%, with the eurozone market rising 4.5% and non-eurozone markets rising 1.6%. Excluding large contracts, orders rose 5.1%. Based on the less volatile three-month period, factory orders in the third quarter rose slightly by 0.2% compared to the previous quarter, and by 0.1% excluding large orders.
