In April, new orders for goods produced in the United States headed south more than expected that was provoked by a dive in demand for transportation equipment as well as spare parts, although the key trend kept determining a firm impetus in the manufacturing sector.
Orders for factory stuff slumped by 0.8%, as the Ministry of Commerce informed on Monday. As a matter of fact, the data for March was updated to show that orders headed north by 1.7% instead of the previously achieved surge of about 1.6%.
Market experts forecast that in April production orders would go down by 0.5%. Compared to 2017 orders rallied by 8.3% in April.
The monthly sag in production orders will probably be temporary in the face of sturdy production conditions in May. A survey conducted the previous week disclosed that moods among producers were much better in May due to a leap in new orders.
Orders for transportation equipment went down by 6% due to a 28.9% sag in the wavering category of orders for civilian aircraft. Transportation orders managed to ascend by 6.9% in March. Orders for vehicles went up by 1.0% in April.

There was a dive in the number of orders for PCs. However, orders for household appliances, electrical equipment as well as components dipped by approximately 1.8%. Orders for factory metal products along with primary metals have slumped too.
