NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Orders placed with U.S. manufacturers regained momentum in March after stalling the month before, the government reported Wednesday, an indication that demand for American-made goods, both at home and abroad, still remains strong.
Orders at U.S. factories jumped 2.2 percent, the Commerce Department said, above the 1.5 percent gain economists polled by Briefing.com had expected and the revised flat reading registered the month before. February's orders were originally reported as a 0.8 percent drop. Excluding transportation, orders rose 1.9 percent after gaining 1.5 percent in February.
Strengthening demand abroad for American-made goods -- particularly in the Far East -- helped fuel March's rise, providing more evidence that the U.S. economy is running at an exceptionally strong pace. The Federal Reserve, the nation's central bank, is expected to lift its benchmark rate by at least a quarter point at its May 16 policy meeting.
Orders for electronic goods, transportation and automotive products led the overall monthly gain, according to the Commerce Department. Orders for durable goods rose 3.5 percent in March, while orders for non-durable goods rose 0.6 percent, led by paper, petroleum and coal products.
So, ich hol mir heute noch ein paar Puts auf DOW oder S&P
- auf jeden Fall erstmal raus aus Amiland !!!!
