About Core Durable Goods Orders — United States
DEFINITION
Core Durable Goods Orders is a key economic indicator that measures the total value of new orders for long-lasting goods, excluding volatile transportation equipment. This indicator provides insight into the strength of the manufacturing sector and overall economic growth, as durable goods are typically expensive and require long-term investment. It is closely monitored by investors, policymakers, and analysts as it can signal changes in consumer and business spending patterns. A higher Core Durable Goods Orders figure is generally seen as a positive sign for the economy, while a decline may indicate a slowdown in economic activity.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Manufacturing and factory-order series capture cyclical inflection earlier than aggregate output, and have outsized influence on industrial-sector equities. Surprises against consensus can drive short-term moves, particularly when the print breaks an established trend. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (May 2013): actual 1.3 %, consensus 0.5 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
This indicator correlates most strongly with S&P 500 (Bullish Stocks, r=0.50) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
