In August, new orders for American products demonstrated their biggest leap for almost a year, underpinned by a rally in demand for aircraft, although sluggish business spending on equipment dropped a hint that the manufacturing sector could be decelerating.
Factory products orders sank by 2.3%, which is the largest ascend since September last year, as the Commerce Department informed on Thursday. July’s data was updated upwards to show factory orders decreasing by 0.5% versus the previously disclosed 0.8% sink.
Market experts interviewed by Reuters had predicted factory orders bouncing off 2.1% in August. In August, orders rallied by 8.6% on a year-on-year basis.
Manufacturing, accounting for nearly 12% of the American economy, is being backed by firm domestic demand, although momentum is anticipated to gradually speed down in the face of worker shortages, an escalating trade clash between China and America, a strengthening greenback as well as moderating global surge.
An Institute for Supply Management poll of manufacturers issued on Tuesday disclosed factory activity rebounded from a 14-year maximum in September.
Besides this, orders for transportation equipment headed north by 13.1%, which appears to be the largest rally since June last year.
