In July, U.S. new orders for manufactured durable goods decreased by 2.8% to $302.8 billion, following a 9.4% decline in June. The reduction was driven by a 9.7% drop in transportation equipment orders, but excluding transportation, orders rose a solid 1.1%. This ex-transportation increase was led by positive trends in sectors like tech, metals, and machinery, indicating underlying strength despite the headline decline. Shipments of durable goods also saw a healthy increase, rising 1.4% in July. Once again, weak nondefense aircraft orders were the key factor; nondefense aircraft orders plunged 33% m/m in July on top of a 53% m/m decline in June.

This reading followed the 0.4% decrease (revised from -0.8%) recorded in September and came in worse than the market expectation for an increase of 0.5%. U.S. Durable Goods Orders Rise Less Than Expected In October. The numbers: Orders at U.S. factories posted a tepid increase in October, signaling that an ongoing slump in the industrial side of the economy shows no sign of abating. Durable-goods orders rose 0.2% last month, largely because of new airplane contracts for Boeing. Durable-goods orders barely budge. No sign manufacturing slump is ending. The Commerce Department released a report on Wednesday showing new orders for U.S. manufactured durable goods increased by less than expected in the month of October. The report said durable goods orders rose by 0.2 in October after falling by a revised 0.4 percent in September.

New orders for manufactured durable goods in the US decreased by 2.2 billion or 0.8 percent to $284.8 billion in September 2024, following a revised 0.8 percent decline in August and compared with market expectations of a 1 percent fall.While the fall in durable goods orders in September was mostly due to the volatile transportation components, the decline in underlying capital goods shipments will still drag on business equipment investment. The surge in aircraft shipments earlier in the quarter probably prevented overall business equipment from declining in the third quarter, but the weak September data set the stage for a softer fourth quarter.

Orders of big-ticket manufactured items soared past analysts' expectations to grow by almost 5% in June, fueled once more by buoyant transportation equipment orders, according to U.S. government data released Thursday.The surge in new orders in June is the fourth consecutive month of increases, indicating strong demand for durable goods despite an aggressive campaign of interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve to tame inflation. On Wednesday, the Fed raised interest rates for an 11th time, and left open the option for more if inflation proved stubborn to bring down to its long-term target of 2%. Manufactured durable goods orders rose by 4.7% in June from a month earlier to $302.5 billion, the Commerce Department announced in a statement. The increase was more than triple the median expectation of a 1.5% rise in orders in a MarketWatch survey of economists. This was largely due to a jump in new orders of transportation equipment, which rose by 12.1%, the Commerce Department said.

Orders for manufactured U.S. goods jumped 1.7% in May and rose for the third month in a row, boosted by strong demand for passenger planes and new autos. Business investment also rose. The recent increase in orders might be a sign that manufacturers have found a bottom, at least temporarily, after slumping in 2022.

These so-called core capital goods orders increased 0.3% in October. They gained 8.8% on a year-on-year basis. The data is not adjusted for inflation. Slowing price increases, a strong dollar and the shift in spending from goods to services likely contributed to the moderation in core capital goods orders.

US August durable goods orders -0.2% vs -0.4% expected. These numbers were surprisingly weak in July in an early sign of creeping economic weakness.

That said, it's all concerntrated in volatile air and defense orders, excluding those it was a strong report with a positive revision to last month. New orders for U.S.-manufactured capital goods increased more than expected in August, suggesting that businesses remained keen to invest in equipment despite higher interest rates, which could keep the economy on a moderate growth path. Some of the largest gain in orders in seven months reported by the Commerce Department on Tuesday, however, reflected higher prices. The data suggested that business spending on equipment probably rebounded in the third quarter, further dispelling fears that the economy was in recession.

U.S. orders for long-lasting durable goods rebounded in March 2021 after a poor showing in the prior month, but shortages of key supplies are still hampering manufacturers as they race to keep up with rising demand from customers. Orders for durable goods rose 0.5% last month, the government said Monday. These are products such as electronics, appliances, machines, cars and other transportation equipment meant to last at least three years. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal had forecast a 2.2% increase. Orders would have been three times stronger in March, however, if not for a sharp drop in bookings for commercial and military aircraft. Orders had decline in February for the first time since the pandemic began, mostly because of unusually harsh winter weather and a sharp drop in auto production owing to a shortage of key computers chips.

U.S. durable-goods orders climb 3.4% in January 2021. U.S. manufacturers in January booked the biggest increase in orders in six months, pointing to an economy that is gaining steam again after a letdown at the end of 2020. Orders for durable goods — products meant to last at least three years — rose 3.4% in January, the government said Thursday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal had forecast a 1% advance. Orders for manufacturers have now returned to precrisis levels, reflecting in large part a major shift among consumers toward the purchase of goods such as new cars, houses, appliances, electronics and so forth. Americans are spending a lot less on services.

DURABLE GOODS ORDERS

What is it?

Durable goods are items ranging from toasters to aircraft that are meant to last three years or more.

Durable goods orders are a leading indicator of manufacturing. Though orders tend to be volatile. New Durable Goods Order measures the strength of manufacturing.

Durable goods are designed to last three or more years including:

- airplanes
- machine parts for factories,
- cars and buses,
- cranes,
- appliances, etc.

The number of new orders is a gauge to manufacturing strength because these are the first type of goods to be effected by economic shift.

Consumers need to be very optimistic to purchase a car compared to daily necessities such as clothes. Therefore they can also hold off these goods first in economic downturns.

Why is it important?

Durable goods orders are a leading indicator of industrial production and capital spending like business spending on equipment. Durables orders are living up to their reputation as one of the U.S.'s most volatile monthly indicators. Remember, Durable goods is defined as goods whose intended lifespan is three years or more.

In theory the durable goods orders series should be one of the more important indicators of the economy's health. But its susceptibility to major revisions of the previous monthly data suggestions caution in taking the data for any particular month too seriously.

One can compare the trend growth rate in New orders for U.S. durable goods those lasting longer than three years, such as automobiles and kitchen appliances, with that of the PPI for finished goods to assess the growth rate in real orders.

Durable Goods

In economics, a durable good or a hard good is a good that does not quickly wear out, or more specifically, one that yields utility over time rather than being completely consumed in one use.

Most economists will pay closer attention to orders for so-called core capital goods computers, machinery and other goods that signal business investment plans. In other words, durable good orders can show a sign that companies are boosting investment.

Orders for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years, are a barometer of U.S. growth and give an indication of how well the economy is performing. Orders spike when growth accelerates and sag when the economy weakens

Nondurable goods

Nondurable goods or soft goods (consumables) are the opposite of durable goods. They may be defined either as goods that are immediately consumed in one use or ones that have a lifespan of less than 3 years.

Examples: cosmetics and cleaning products, food, fuel, office supplies, packaging and containers, paper and paper products, personal products, rubber, plastics, textiles, clothing and footwear.

While durable goods can usually be rented as well as bought, nondurable goods generally are not rented.

Core Capital Goods / Ex-Transportation Orders

Bookings for major transportation items such as airliners and large trucks are uneven from month to month and can mask underlying trends. Orders for military weapons and equipment can have the same effect.

As a result, economists pay close attention to another category of orders known as core capital goods.

Bookings for these goods, which strip out defense and transportation, tend to provide a clearer idea of how well the overall manufacturing sector is doing

Data

Monthly fluctuations in durable goods orders are frequent and large and skew the underlying trend in the data. In fact, even the yearly change must be viewed carefully because of the volatility in this series.

Durable goods are items that are expected to last at least three years. Orders can be volatile from month to month.
