Description
The first chart shows the value of U.S. manufacturers' orders for durable goods industries - specifically, mining, oil field, and gas field machinery. Total orders = new orders + unfilled orders. The value is measured in million of U.S. dollars and is seasonally adjusted. The second chart shows annual growth rates for all three types of orders ("new", "unfilled" and "total"), smoothed over a six-month period. The information presented in these charts may shed some light on the overall capital expenditure picture in the industry.
Historical data are available from February 1992.
