USA: -1.6% of industrial orders in January

After a 1.7% increase in December (revised figure compared to the figure +1.8% initially announced), orders to American industry fell by 1.6% in January, a figure which testifies to the fragility of the manufacturing sector across the Atlantic.

The US Department of Commerce specifies that orders for transport equipment fell by 13.3% in particular, while orders for durable goods fell by 4.5%.

On the other hand, orders for capital goods excluding transport – considered a good barometer of corporate investment projects – rose by 1.2% between December and January.
