US new orders for durable goods increased to $339.25 billion in Q3 2026, marking steady growth from the previous value of $334.77 billion in Q2 2026 and significantly outperforming the market's expectation of a 0.5% increase. The primary momentum this time came from a strong rebound in transportation equipment orders. However, core capital goods growth excluding transportation was mild, indicating that while corporate capital expenditure remains resilient, it is not a comprehensive recovery.
