The numbers: The Commerce Department said Monday that orders at U.S. factories for long-lasting goods, such as new cars or machinery, jumped 9.9% in July.
Economists had forecast a 4% rise in orders for durable goods — products made to last at least three years.
Orders have risen in five of the last six months. However, they dropped 6.9% in June due to weak aircraft orders.
Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders were up 0.2% in July after a 0.1% gain in the prior month.
Another measure in the report seen as a bellwether for business investment — core capital-goods orders, which exclude volatile sectors like transportation and defense — slipped 0.1% last month after a 0.5% rise in June.
