Excluding transportation, orders rose a much smaller 0.7%, but almost every other key manufacturing sector posted an increase. Leading the way: computers and electronics. Orders increased 2.7% following a strong 4.7% gain in April
Meanwhile, shipments of core capital goods, a category used to calculate quarterly economic growth, climbed 1.7% in May to reverse most of April’s 2.0% decline.
Yet orders for autos and parts fell 1.2%, the biggest drop since the end of last summer. The reduction might stem from disappointing sales at auto retailers in April, though consumers made up for it in May. The bounceback in sales last month could spur dealers to order more vehicles for June.
Orders for passenger planes shot up 51% last month, as Boeing reported the biggest increase since last July. Some 46% of the orders the aircraft maker has received so far this year came in May.
More important, business investment excluding defense and aircraft advanced 1.1% and recorded the third straight gain. That might be a sign of accelerating demand in a manufacturing sector that’s been shackled by cautious business spending at home and weak economies in key U.S. export markets.
Consumers spend and earn more in May
Outlays rise last month after big drop in April; incomes up 0.5%
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Consumer spending in the U.S. rose 0.3% in May and personal incomes rose even faster, the government said Thursday. The increase in spending last month mostly reverses a 0.3% decline in April, which had been the biggest drop in four years. Personal income climbed 0.5% as wages, investment income and payments for entitlements like Social Security all rose at seasonally adjusted annual rates. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.3% advance in spending and a 0.2% gain in personal income. Since incomes rose faster than spending, the individual savings rate moved up to 3.2% from 3% to mark the highest level since December. Inflation as gauged by the core PCE price index increased 0.1%, the Commerce Department said, and it's up a scant 1.1% over the past 12 months. The overall PCE index also rose 0.1%.
el ánimo de los consumidores en Estados Unidos mejoró a fines de junio, terminando el mes cerca de un máximo en seis años alcanzado en mayo, mientras el optimismo en las familias de mayores ingresos subió a su mayor nivel en seis años, según un sondeo de Thomson Reuters/Universidad de Michigan publicado el viernes.
