Estados Unidos Encomedas à Indústria

New orders for manufactured goods in the US fell by 0.5% from the previous month to $584.2 billion in September of 2024, extending the revised 0.8% decline in August and loosely in line with market expectations of a 0.4% drop. The result aligned with other key data that underscored the weakening momentum of the US manufacturing sector. Declines were noted for durable goods-producing industries (-0.7%), led by transportation equipment (-3.1% to $95.4 billion) and machinery (-0.2% to $37.6 billion), while an increase for orders by fabricated metal producers softened the blow (2.1% to $37.4 billion). In turn, orders also fell for non-durable goods producers (-0.2%).
