ECONOMIC REPORT: Durable orders up 3.1% on broad-based gains; Orders excluding transportation up 2.3%, best since March
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Jan 26, 2007
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Orders for durable goods jumped by 3.1% in December, led by stronger demand for airplanes and capital equipment, the Commerce Department reported Friday.
Orders for new durable manufactured goods were up in most sectors, from autos to machinery. The report confirms other data showing the manufacturing sector regained momentum as the year ended after a soft patch earlier in the fall.
The gain was in line with economists' expectations of a 3.5% gain, after taking into account a small upward gain to November's orders to 2.2%.
Excluding the 4.8% gain for transportation goods, orders rose 2.3%, the first increase since September and the best showing since March.
For all of 2006, durable-goods orders rose 7% after an 8.6% gain in 2005. The figures are not adjusted for price changes. Durable goods are manufactured goods designed to last three years or longer. Because of that durability, orders and shipments of durables are very sensitive to the ups and downs of the business cycle, adding to their value as a leading indicator.
Orders for core capital equipment - the kind of goods producers invest in to build their productive capacity - rose 2.4% in December, the biggest gain since March and the first increase since September. For 2006, core capital equipment orders rose 9%.
Shipments of durable goods increased 0.8% in December, the most since August. For the year, shipments rose 5.6% after a 5.9% gain in 2005.
Inventories rose 0.4% in December and unfilled orders - a signal of future production - rose 2.3%.
Details of the report
Orders for transportation goods rose 4.8%, as civilian airplane orders rose 26.5%, and orders for motor vehicles rose 6.8%. Orders for defense aircraft jumped 20.5%, the third straight month of gains more than 20%. Shipments of transportation goods rose 3.3%.
Orders for electronics (excluding semiconductors) rose 1%, while shipments (which do include semiconductors) fell 5.7%. Orders for computers fell 3.1%.
Orders for machinery rose 5%, while shipments rose 1.1%.
Orders for fabricated metals rose 2.5% while shipments rose 2.2%. Orders for primary metals rose 4.5% with shipments rising 2.5%.
Orders for electrical equipment fell 1.4% and shipments rose 2.3%.
