The U.S. economy experienced a noticeable dip in non-defense capital goods orders, excluding aircraft, for June 2025. The latest data, updated on July 25, 2025, highlights a decline of 0.7% month-over-month, contrasting sharply against the previous month's positive movement.
In May 2025, this critical economic indicator demonstrated a robust increase, reaching 1.7%. However, the subsequent month reversed this upward trajectory. The negative shift in June paints a more cautious picture for economic analysts and industry stakeholders who are closely watching these metrics as vital signals of business investment trends.
This decline may raise concerns about potential slowdowns in manufacturing activities and investment commitments from U.S. businesses. As the economy navigates these fluctuations, experts will look for upcoming reports to determine if this downturn is a temporary aberration or indicative of a longer-term trend.
