By Kevin Kastner, Shikha Dave, and Harrison Clarke
WASHINGTON (MNI) - The value of U.S. durable goods new orders rose
by 1.0% in June, a smaller gain than the 3.5% surge expected by analysts
in an MNI survey and following a upward revision to the decline in the
previous month, data released Thursday by the Commerce Department
showed.
The main driver of the June increase was a 2.2% rise in
transportation orders. However, new orders excluding transportation
orders posted a 0.4% increase on gains in computers and electronic
products, electrical equipment, and the all other durables category.
Analysts had expected this component to rise 0.4%.
Also released on Thursday, initial jobless claims rose by 9,000 to
217,000 in the July 21 week after dipping to their lowest point since
1969 in the previous week. The four-week moving average fell by 2,750
to 218,000 in July 21 week, and would be expected to fall by 3,750 next
week, all else being equal.
Continuing claims fell by 8,000 to 1.745 million in the July 14
week, down 38,000 from the level in the June 16 survey week.
--NONDEFENSE AIRCRAFT ORDERS, VEHICLES SURGE
Nondefense aircraft and parts new orders rose 4.3% in June
following an 11.6% fall in the previous month. In addition, motor
vehicles and parts orders rose 4.4%.
At the same time, defense aircraft orders rose 20.2% and
transportation orders excluding motor vehicles and aircraft were down
21.0%, according to an MNI calculation.
Nondefense capital goods new orders rose 2.3%, and were still up
0.6% excluding an increase in civilian aircraft orders following a 0.7%
rise in May.
--SHIPMENTS UP, INVENTORIES DOWN
Durable goods shipments rose 1.7% in June due to a rise in
transportation, but nondefense capital goods shipments were up 2.3%.
Nondefense capital goods shipments ex. aircraft were up 1.0%
after a 0.2% rise in the previous month.
Durable goods inventories fell 0.1% in the month, while unfilled
orders posted a 0.4% increase.
