March 2018 Durable Goods Orders
Submitted by Atlas Indicators Investment Advisors on May 4th, 2018
Durable Goods Orders increased 1.7 percent in August 2017 according to the Census Bureau’s most recent release. This uptick, the second of the last three months, reversed just a portion of the 6.8 percent decrease in July. Transportation’s 4.9 percent surge led this indicator higher; excluding this component leaves an improvement of 0.2 percent.
