Core Durable Goods Orders See A Small Beat On Net

US DATA
  • Core durable goods orders were stronger than expected in August preliminary data, rising 0.9% M/M (cons 0.1) but with the gloss taken off by a sizeable downward revision to -0.4% M/M (initial 0.1) in July.
  • It leaves the 3M/3M trend rate at just 0.4% annualized, particularly tepid considering it’s a nominal measure, although as we’ve regularly pointed out it still holds up well compared to various manufacturing surveys having been firmly in contractionary territory for many months now.
  • Core shipments meanwhile also surprised higher at 0.7% M/M (cons 0.0) after an unrevised -0.3% M/M. Its 3M/3M run has been more resilient at 1.5% annualized.
