New orders for U.S. manufactured durable goods increased in September, according to a report released by the Commerce Department on Wednesday. The Commerce Department said durable goods orders climbed by 0.5% in September after spiking by an upwardly revised 3.0% in August. The bigger increase by durable goods orders partly reflected surges by orders for electrical equipment, appliances and components and primary metals.
The report said orders for transportation equipment also rose by 0.4% in September after vaulting by 8.0% in August. While orders for non-defense aircraft and parts tumbled by 6.1% in September after spiking by 20.2 in August, orders for defense aircraft and parts soared by another 30.9% in September after skyrocketing by 48.3 in August.
Excluding orders for transportation equipment, durable goods orders increased by 0.6% in September after climbing by 0.5% in August. Ex-transportation orders were expected to inch up by 0.2%.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said durable goods orders excluding defense crept up by just 0.1% in September after jumping by 1.9% in August. The report also said orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, a key indicator of business spending, advanced by 0.9% for the second straight month.
Shipments in the same category, which is the source data for equipment investment in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), also increased by 0.9% in September after edging down by 0.1% in August. 11/26/2025 - 10:10:00 (RTTNews)
Australia's inflation accelerated in October largely driven by higher electricity costs. The monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.8% year-on-year in October after a 3.6% increase in September. On a monthly basis, consumer prices remained flat in October, following September's 0.5% rise.
The largest contributor to annual inflation was housing, which gained 5.9%. This was followed by food and non-alcoholic beverages and recreation and culture, which both rose 3.2%.
Driven by higher electricity prices, goods inflation edged up to 3.8% from 3.7% in September. Electricity costs posted an annual growth of 37.1%. At the same time, services’ inflation rose to 3.9% from 3.5%.
Trimmed mean inflation for the complete Monthly CPI was 3.3% in the twelve months to October, up from 3.2% in the twelve months to September.
Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of Australia retained its key interest rate at 3.60% as the full effects of earlier rate cuts are yet to be felt and policymakers became cautious after data showed evidence of more persistent inflation. 11/26/2025 - 01:06:00 (RTTNews)
