Durable Goods Orders Report for August 2008 Released Today

The Durable Goods Orders report for August 2008 was released this morning:

Predicted: -1.6%
Actual: -4.5%

The above percentages represent the month-to-month change in orders for durable or hard goods for immediate or future delivery from U.S. manufacturers. Examples of durable goods: cars, airplanes, computers -- items that are built to last 3+ years.

The "predicted" figure is what economists and Wall Street forecasters were expecting, while the "actual" is the true or real figure. The Durable Goods Orders report is produced by the Commerce Department.
