Analysis and Forecast
US Durable Goods Orders Ex Transportation Rise Slows in February Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation measure new orders for long-lasting manufactured goods, excluding volatile transport items, reflecting core business investment trends. In February 2026, these orders increased by 0.40%, down from January’s 1.00% gain, with the latest data released on March 13, 2026. This slowdown suggests a moderation in capital spending momentum after a strong start to the year. Despite easing, the reading remains close to the recent average, indicating steady demand in sectors like machinery and electronics. Market reaction was muted as investors weighed the data against ongoing Federal Reserve policy and broader economic conditions. JPMorgan analysts noted, “The February moderation aligns with expectations for a gradual investment pace, signaling resilience without overheating.” Overall, the report points to continued but cautious optimism in US manufacturing investment heading into spring.
February's 0.4% increase in Durable Goods Orders Ex Transportation follows January's 1.0% gain and matches December's 0.4% result. The 12-month average stands at 0.48%, with the indicator showing a mild upward bias since late 2025.
Volatility has eased compared to the sharp swings seen earlier in 2025, when readings fluctuated between 0.1% and 1.0%. The latest data point keeps the series within its recent range, suggesting steady—if unspectacular—expansion in core manufacturing orders.
