Israel Manufacturing Production MoM
A monthly measure of changes in the output of Israel's manufacturing industries.
Full explanation
Israel Manufacturing Production MoM shows the monthly percentage change in output from Israel's manufacturing industries. It is derived from the Manufacturing Production Index, which tracks changes in the volume of production rather than changes in factory selling prices. The index uses information such as revenue at constant prices, production quantities and hours worked, and is adjusted to make month-to-month comparisons more meaningful. It is published by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics.
Why traders watch it
Manufacturing is a cyclical part of the economy, so the release can add evidence about changes in domestic activity, export-oriented production and broader growth conditions. It may influence expectations for Israeli economic growth and interest-rate conditions, particularly when it confirms or contradicts other activity indicators.
Market interpretation
- ILS and Israeli rates
- A material surprise can affect views on near-term Israeli growth and monetary-policy conditions, although the reaction depends on wider market conditions and other domestic data.
- Equities and credit
- The release may contribute to assessments of industrial and cyclical business conditions, especially when it is consistent with other activity indicators.
Stronger vs weaker outcomes
A stronger-than-expected monthly rise may be read as a sign that manufacturing activity has improved, while a weaker result or contraction may point to softer production conditions. The market response can depend on whether the move appears broad-based, temporary or affected by revisions.
A higher-than-expected monthly reading can suggest firmer manufacturing output and stronger near-term activity than markets had anticipated.
A lower-than-expected reading can suggest weaker manufacturing output or a loss of momentum in the sector.
Higher readings indicate faster monthly growth in manufacturing output; lower readings indicate slower growth or contraction.
Typical volatility
High. Monthly manufacturing data can be volatile because of seasonal adjustment, shifts in high-technology production, working-day effects and disruptions to production. Initial estimates and the recent monthly pattern should be assessed alongside revisions and other Israeli activity data.
Trading considerations
- Compare the result with the consensus expectation, prior reading and any revisions to earlier months.
- Check whether the movement is corroborated by exports, business surveys and broader industrial or activity indicators.
- Allow for potentially thin liquidity or wider spreads around scheduled economic releases.
- Treat a single monthly result cautiously, particularly after unusually large gains or declines.
