This one came out 7 days before the Federal Reserve's 3 May rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.40x compares with 1.40x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

What is Durable Goods Orders?
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Durable Goods Orders report every month. Durable goods orders reflect new orders placed with domestic manufacturers for delivery of long-lasting manufactured goods (durable goods) 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
