The article from Reuters, published on January 28, 2025, discusses the unexpected rise in U.S. core capital goods orders for December 2024. Orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, a key indicator of business spending on equipment, increased by 0.5%, surpassing economists' expectations of a 0.2% rise. This growth suggests a robust business investment climate despite concerns over economic slowdowns. The report also highlighted that shipments in this category, which feed into GDP calculations, rose by 0.3%. However, the overall durable goods orders fell by 0.6%, primarily due to a significant drop in transportation equipment orders, including a 6.7% decrease in motor vehicle orders. This mixed data reflects a complex economic environment where certain sectors continue to thrive while others face challenges.
