New orders for durable U.S.-manufactured goods increased by $2.7 billion, or 0.9 percent, representing an increase for the second consecutive month, according to February figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
When excluding transportation, new orders increased 0.7 percent. The figures were similar when excluding the defense sector, as orders were still up 0.8 percent without it.
Transportation equipment played the largest role in the increase, with orders increasing by $1.4 billion, or 1.5 percent to $98.3 billion. The latest report marked the second consecutive monthly increase for the sector, which was also true for U.S.-manufactured goods as a whole.
In total, the latest report marked the second consecutive increase in demand for goods manufactured in the United States, as totals surged by 3.3 percent in January.
