The release
Released by the Bureau of Census on 25 September 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation came in at 0.3% for August 2026, against 0.4% in July 2026. Durable goods orders excluding transportation are still rising, but more slowly than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
Measured by Clometrix
Polkadot's volatility ratio was 0.99x, against 1.27x for a typical Durable Orders Ex Transportation release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.86x, against a typical 1.29x. Under 1.5x is not a reaction at all: the market barely noticed this release. Both compare the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change: volatility is how far the price ranged, volume how much traded.
How Polkadot moved
Polkadot was at $1.190 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.84% higher, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.68% of its price, against 2.52% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Durable Orders Ex Transportation releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Polkadot about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.16x across 20, against 1.27x across 48. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 0.99x compares with 1.27x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
How it compares
Across 68 Durable Orders Ex Transportation releases since 2021, Polkadot's usual price swing is 1.27x. This one was 0.78 times the usual.
Thin line: Durable Orders Ex Transportation's usual, 1.27x. Thick line: this release, 0.99x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.

What is the Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation?
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Durable Goods Orders report every month. Durable goods orders ex transportation reflect new orders placed with domestic manufacturers for delivery of long-lasting manufactured goods (durable goods) excluding transportation equipment in the near term or future. The change in the total value of new orders is measured and shared with the public in two releases per month: the advance report on durable goods and the manufacturers' shipments, inventories, and orders.Questions about this page
