USD – Durable Goods Orders m/m
U.S. Durable Goods Orders (m/m) came in at -1.4%, lower than the forecast of -1.1%, and down from the previous reading of 0.0%. This suggests a decline in new orders for long-lasting manufactured goods, indicating softer demand in the industrial sector.
A drop in durable goods orders may reflect weaker business investment and cautious spending, which could influence expectations around economic activity.
Since the actual reading came in below the forecast, the result may be negative for the U.S. dollar, as weaker manufacturing demand could impact expectations around economic performance and monetary policy.
