미국 내구재주문, Durable Goods Orders 월간 -0.8% 재감소 _09.04.24

 
저번달 3.4% 상승하며 일시적으로 개선세를 보였던 미국 내구재주문, Durable Good Orders 지표가 월간으로 다시 -0.8% 감소하였습니다.
물론 예상치 -1.4% 보다는 괜찮은 것이나, 연말 연초의 호전세가 기술적 반등 수준에 머무르는 인상을 주고 있기 때문에,
본질적이고 지속적인 개선세는 아직은 멀지 않은가 생각됩니다. 

내구재는 3년 이상의 수명주기를 가지는 제품군, 예를 들면 자동차, 컴퓨터, 설비장치, 항공기 등의 장기수명 제품을 칭합니다.
