    New orders for manufactured durable goods in November, down three of the last four months, declined from the previous month, led by the weakness in transportation orders. 

    New orders decreased $3.0 billion, or 1.1%, from the previous month or fell 1.3% from a year ago to $285.1 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today. 

    This followed a 0.8% October increase. 

    Excluding transportation, new orders eased 0.1%; excluding defense, new orders fell 0.3%. 

    Transportation equipment orders, also down three of the last four months, drove the decline with a fall of $2.9 billion, or 2.9%, to $95.5 billion.

    However, closely watched proxy for business spending, non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft advanced 0.7%, the fastest increase since August 2023, and reversing the fall of 0.1% in October.
