WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New orders for costly manufactured goods shot up at the fastest rate in five months during June, led by a surge in demand for new aircraft and cars, the Commerce Department said Friday.
Orders for long-lasting durable goods climbed 2.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted $172.5 billion last month after being flat in May -- a surprisingly robust pickup that surpassed Wall Street economists' forecasts for a 1.0 percent increase and implied a recovering industrial sector that could help push a faster pace of second-half economic expansion.
The June increase was the strongest since a matching 2.1 percent rise in orders in January.
June orders for transportation equipment gained 3.9 percent to $50.82 billion, more than recovering a 2.1 percent drop in May. The department said it was the sharpest increase in monthly transportation orders since July 2002 when there was a 22.6 percent orders jump. Orders for new cars were up 2.2 percent in June after falling 0.6 percent in May.
Excluding the volatile transportation sector, June durables orders gained 1.4 percent following a 0.9 percent May increase. That also was the strongest pickup in orders excluding transportation since January, when they were up 1.5 percent.
