In September, orders for durable goods in the U.S. rose 1.8%, compared with expectations of 1.4%. Meanwhile, excluding transportation equipment, the increase was only 0.5%.
📊 Orders for aircraft, cars, and other transportation equipment can fluctuate significantly and affect the overall result. The measure excluding transportation helps provide a better assessment of broader trends in industrial demand.
What does this mean for markets?
Stronger orders may point to resilience in the U.S. economy, but could also fuel concerns about inflation and interest rates staying high for longer.
For U.S. stocks and cryptocurrencies, including $BTC and $BNB , it matters how this data affects expectations for Fed policy.
⏰ The next key event is the Fed’s interest rate decision.
📅 October 28 at 20:00 Kyiv time — the decision will be announced. The press conference is scheduled for 20:30.
Markets will be watching not only the decision, but also signals about the future direction of monetary policy.
⚠️ Strong economic data is not automatically positive for all assets. The reaction will also depend on bond yields, the dollar’s exchange rate, and interest rate expectations.
