Guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 U.S. March factory orders jump 4.3% By Rex Nutting WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Orders for U.S.-made factory goods jumped 4.3 percent in March while shipments from factories increased a record 3.8 percent, the Commerce Department estimated Tuesday. The increase in factory orders was nearly double the 2.2 percent expected by economists surveyed by CBS MarketWatch. It was the largest gain since July 2002. Orders for durable goods in March were revised sharply higher to a 5 percent gain from 3.4 percent estimated a week ago. Orders for nondurable goods increased 3.5 percent. Unfilled orders increased 1.2 percent. Inventories increased a tiny 0.3 percent. Orders for core capital goods increased 4.5 percent, up from the 2.4 percent estimated last week.

NWD Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Somebody on M2M early this morning reported failure of his TV. Mine has gone out twice this morning on all channels. Anybody else notice this? Sherlock I'm in Michigan. It was on as I walked out the door 6:30ish. They were discussing a vital topic of economic analysis (and I am not making this up): Who is "cuter," the head of the Bank of England or the head of the ECB? Audience responses to this question were solicited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
