US Durable Goods Orders Drop 1.4 Percent, Beating 3.4 Percent Consensus

US durable goods orders fell 1.4% in January 2026, outperforming the consensus estimate of a 3.4% decline. The January figure reversed December’s 0.4% increase, signaling a notable month-over-month contraction. This marks a return to negative territory after a brief uptick, continuing the recent volatility around the 50-threshold that separates expansion from contraction in manufacturing activity. The decline was primarily driven by weaker demand for transportation equipment, which offset gains in other categories. Compared to the 12-month average, January’s result is below trend, reflecting ongoing softness in US manufacturing amid broader economic uncertainty. Market participants now await commentary from the Federal Reserve and upcoming factory orders data for further insight into the sector’s outlook. Updated 2/18/26
