US Durable Goods Data
New orders for long-lasting goods manufactured in the United States rose in January as demand picked up broadly, offering a ray of hope for the downtrodden manufacturing sector. The Commerce Department said orders for durable goods, items as varied as toasters or aircraft meant to last three years or more, surged 4.9 percent last month, reversing December’s 4.6 percent plunge. The increase in January was the largest since March 2015. The durable goods report was the latest indication that the worst of the manufacturing downturn was probably over. Manufacturing output rose solidly in January, and factory payrolls that month increased by the most since August 2013.
