Orders excluding transportation increased 0.3%, down from 0.6% in the prior month.<\/p>\n<p>The durable goods revisions were modestly softer. Overall orders were revised to a 0.1% decline, while orders excluding transportation were trimmed to a 0.2% gain. However, the closely watched measure of business equipment investment plans\u2014nondefense capital goods orders excluding aircraft\u2014held onto its 1.6% increase. That is the stronger detail beneath an otherwise subdued headline.<\/p>\n<p>Quick analysis: The headline met expectations, giving traders little surprise to work with. Slower overall order growth and softer durable goods revisions suggest more restrained manufacturing demand, but the solid increase in core capital goods orders provides an offset. Taken alone, the report offers limited reason to materially change Fed expectations or the outlook for the dollar and Treasury yields.<\/p>\n<p>What this report measures: The Census Bureau\u2019s factory orders report tracks the monthly, seasonally adjusted dollar value of new orders for manufactured goods, including durable and nondurable products. Traders monitor orders for clues about future production, while capital goods orders excluding defense and aircraft help gauge business equipment investment plans.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior month factory orders 0.8% down from 0.9% previously Factory orders: +0.1% vs +0.1% expected.
