More detailed report on new orders from manufacturing sector, shows smaller decline in October as previously reported on the durable goods report. Suggesting that slow-down in manufacturing activity may not be as strong as previously reported. Orders for U.S.-made products fell by -2.46 % in October, to $503 billions, a decrease by $12.7 billions from $515 in September on the seasonally adjusted basis, led by -59.65 % decrease in defense aircraft and parts bookings, representing 0.94 % of total factory orders. Government purchases of defense products are uneven and can sometimes distort the data., reported by the Commerce Department.
Suggesting some hesitancy on the part of businesses to continue to expand until they see further strengthening of the U.S. economy. New orders jumped by 4.81 % for the year, and shipments by 4.99 %.

Another category of orders closely watched by economists, known as excluding defense and transportation, orders sunk by -0.77 % on the seasonally adjusted basis, and shipments by -0.35 %.
That category excludes defense and transportation and gives a better indication of longer-term trends in the private sector.
Over the past 12 months, excluding defense and transportation bookings grew by 4.57 % and unfilled orders by 3.37 %.

In October total manufacturing shipments fell by -0.28 % to $508 billions, a decrease by $1 billions from $510 in September on the seasonally adjusted basis. Shipments excluding transportation grew by 0.08 %.
