Durable goods orders inched up 0.2% in Sept., but the increase was due to a 26.5% increase in defense spending. Non-defense spending was down 0.9%. The nondefense capital goods shipments were down in Sept, suggesting a slight drag on 3Q GDP, but orders were up, so, 4Q looks good. On balance, this was a ho hum number with a lot of softness. [Dow Jones}

Economist Steve Stanley of RBSGC says Sept durable goods was a mixed bag. He says "Excluding defense and aircraft, durable goods bookings slipped by 0.4%" and the breakdown by category was all over the place. [Market News International]
