Europe's Industrial Rebound: The Power of Mean Revision

RTT News details:

Eurozone industrial new order growth quickened in November, led by Portugal, Finland and Germany, official figures showed Monday. Industrial orders rose 2.1% month-on-month in November, after rising 1.4% in October, the European Union Statistical office Eurostat said. On an annual basis, industrial order growth accelerated to 19.9% from 14.8% recorded in the preceding month. The rise exceeded the 17.5% increase economists had forecast.
The below charts show that much of this is purely a rebound off lows, with a relatively strong relationship between those reporting strong results in 2010 off of lower figures in 2009.

    I thought the Jets were going to snatch that game back for a while last night. Welcome to the "my team is playing golf" club. It sucks.

  2. If we didn't have mean reversion, we'd have to revise the mean.
