The Confederation of British Industry’s industrial-trends order-book balance printed −25 for August. That is the Forex Factory calendar line: actual −25 versus a −40 forecast and a previous of −45. Trading Economics corroborates the same row, timestamped 20 August 2026, 10:00 AM GMT. There is no CBI.org release dated 20 August 2026 on the open web used for this note.
This is a beat versus the −40 forecast. It is still a negative balance. Below zero means more manufacturers called present order books below normal than above.
The print. One forecast.
| Series | Actual | Forecast | Previous |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBI Industrial Trends Orders, August | −25 | −40 | −45 |
| July, same series | −45 | −40 | −45 |
July’s −45 is on the same Trading Economics calendar, released 23 July. The stamp is Factory, corroborated by TE.
The next CBI industrial-trends orders print on that calendar is 23 September, the September survey. Live sterling is on prices. The stamp sits on the economic calendar.
