US Durable Goods Orders rise 0.9% in February vs. -1% expected

update 2025.03.26 21:38

  • Durable Goods Orders in the US rose unexpectedly in February.
  • US Dollar Index stays in daily range above 104.00.

Durable Goods Orders in the US rose by 0.9%, or $2.7 billion, in February to $289.3 billion, the US Census Bureau reported on Wednesday. This reading followed a 3.3% increase (revised from 3.1%) reported in January and came in better than the market expectation for a decrease of 1%.

"Excluding transportation, new orders increased 0.7%," the Census Bureau noted in its press release. "Excluding defense, new orders increased 0.8%. Transportation equipment, also up two consecutive months, led the increase, $1.4 billion or 1.5% to $98.3 billion."

Market reaction

These figures don't seem to be having a noticeable impact on the US Dollar's valuation. At the time of press, the US Dollar Index was up 0.1% on the day at 104.32.
