Fundamental view
Durable goods orders in the United States probably increased 1.0% in February, according to preliminary estimates, as a month ago orders declined 1.0%. Durable goods category includes new and second hand goods, which are usually used for a period of over three years. It includes motor vehicles, housing furniture, sports goods, construction materials, industrial equipment, metals and minerals and others.
This indicator accounts for a major part of nations factory orders. A larger rate of increase than projected would certainly provide a boost to US dollars demand.
