Core Durable Goods Orders in the United States rose by 0.3% in August 2026, easing from a 0.7% increase recorded in July 2026, according to data updated on 25 September 2026. The figures are measured on a month-over-month basis, comparing each month’s change to the previous month.
The slowdown suggests a moderation in underlying demand for long-lasting, non-transportation-related goods after a stronger showing in July. While still in positive territory, the softer August reading may indicate that momentum in core capital spending is stabilizing following the more robust 0.7% gain seen the month before.
