00:00Good morning. We do have the latest durable goods orders in the total on factory orders. Factory orders in a
00:06headline basis are down seven tenths percent after rising 2.7 percent in November. This is December data.
00:14Durable goods orders down 1.4 percent. That was the same number as in the advanced report. And capital goods
00:21orders non-defense Xair the stuff that goes into GDP is up by eight tenths of a percent.
00:27That's better than the six tenths that was reported in the initial report. So going into December at least manufacturers
00:33orders were a little bit stronger than anticipated.
00:36As were shipments non-defense Xair shipments up one percent. That compares with a nine tenths percent number in the
00:44initial rating.
00:45So I don't know if it's going to be enough that will make a difference when they revise GDP.
00:50But it does suggest that there's still some strength in manufacturing. Maybe a little bit not a lot.
