Key Quotes
“Durables goods orders for April are released today. We expect some headline weakness (-0.6%) which in part is due to the strong 4.7% print last month, a gain driven almost exclusively by transportation orders.”
“Order ex transportation should rise 0.3% in April matching the gain the prior month.”
“Core capital goods orders, a proxy for investment spending, enjoyed a smart upward revision in March (from -0.5% to 0.6%). We want to see more follow through in April and while are forecast for 0.3% is not robust, it provides more evidenced that we are moving in the right direction.”
