New orders for manufactured goods in the US fell by 0.7% from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted $617.5 billion in December of 2025, trimming the six-month high growth of $621.9 billion in the previous month, and loosely in line with market expectations that it would contract 0.5%. Orders of durable goods fell by 1.4% to $319.9 billion, amid lower orders for transportation equipment (-5.4% to $113.9 billion), solely due to a drop in nondefense aircraft and parts (-24.8% to $26.7 billion). In turn, higher orders were recorded for computers and electronic products (3.1% to $27.9 billion), machinery (0.5% to $40.4 billion), fabricated metal products (0.9% to $42.6 billion), and primary metals (2.1% to $27.6 billion). Meanwhile, orders for nondurable goods were loosely unchanged for a second month at $297.6 billion.
