What is Business Confidence?

Business confidence indices summarise corporate executives' assessments of current conditions and expectations. The IFO (Germany), Tankan (Japan), NAB (Australia), and ISM (US, indirectly) are the most-watched series.

Why it matters for FX

Business confidence leads capex and hiring decisions. Sharp drops typically precede slowdowns in industrial production and employment, which feed into the central-bank reaction function and therefore into the currency.

How to read this page

Watch the level vs long-run mean and the direction over three to six months. Forward-looking sub-indices (expectations, future orders) lead the present-situation reading.

What to watch for

  • Forward expectations sub-index as the lead
  • Direction over three to six months
  • Sector breakdown — manufacturing vs services
  • Cross-check with PMI new orders
  • Investment-intentions sub-index
