More detailed report on new orders from manufacturing sector, shows smaller decline in April as previously reported on the durable goods report. Suggesting that slow-down in manufacturing activity may not be as strong as previously reported. In April U.S. durable-goods orders decreased by -1.76 % to $499 billions, a decrease by $8.9 billions from $508 in March on the seasonally adjusted basis.
Suggesting some hesitancy on the part of businesses to continue to expand until they see further strengthening of the U.S. economy. Bookings rose by 0.98 % over the past 12 months, and shipments by 2.28 %.

In April total manufacturing shipments decreased by -1.10 % to $504 billions, a decrease by $6 billions from $510 in March on the seasonally adjusted basis. Excluding transportation shipments fell by -0.18 %.
