The U.S.
Commerce Department reported on Monday that the durable goods orders rose 2.1
percent m-o-m in July, following a revised 1.8 percent m-o-m surge in June (originally
a 2.0 percent m-o-m gain). That was the fastest rate of growth since August
2018.
Economists had
forecast a 1.1 percent m-o-m increase.
According to
the report, orders for durable goods excluding transportation fell 0.4 percent
m-o-m, following a revised 0.8 percent m-o-m advance in June (originally a 1.2
percent m-o-m advance) and missing market expectations of a flat m-o-m performance.
Orders for
non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for
business spending plans, rose 0.4 percent m-o-m in June, after increasing 0.9
percent m-o-m in June (revised from +1.5 percent m-o-m). Economists had called
for no change in core capital goods orders in July.
Shipments of
these core capital goods dropped 0.7 percent m-o-m in July after a revised flat
m-o-m performance in the prior month (originally a 0.5 percent m-o-m climb).
