Preview: Due August 26 - U.S. July Durable Goods Orders - Still firm, if with some slowing on prices
August 13, 2026 2:51 PM UTC
We expect a 0.6% increase in July durable goods orders with a 0.7% increase ex defense and a 0.8% increase ex transport. This will suggest some loss of what remains healthy underlying momentum, though the slowing probably reflects prices more than volumes.

July PPI looks subdued overall at unchanged and 0.2% ex food and energy, but a 0.4% increase ex food and energy and trade show
