Durable goods preview - Nomura

Ross J Burland FXStreet

Analysts at Nomura offered a preview of the key durable goods orders for the US session.

Key Quotes:

"We expect a solid 1.0% m-o-m increase in durable goods orders excluding transportation, following a 0.5% increase in August (Consensus: 0.5%). September industrial production data suggest that production of durable goods increased at a healthy pace. Further, survey-based measures of new orders improved strongly in September, pointing to healthy gains in ex-transportation durable goods orders."

"On noncore components, September industrial production indicates a decent increase in vehicle assemblies, which points to a steady increase in new orders for motor vehicles and parts. Aircraft manufacturers reported a decent increase in new orders in civilian aircraft."

"However, after seasonal adjustment, we expect some decline in non-defense aircraft and parts orders following a sharp 44.8% jump in August. For defense aircraft and parts orders, we expect a steady increase. Altogether, we expect a 1.0% m-o-m increase in total durable goods orders (Consensus: 1.0%)."

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history.
