August 25, 2025 2:14 PM UTC

July new home sales at 652k are on the firm side of expectations and down 0.6% from June only because June was revised up to 656k from 627k, now up 4.1% rather than 0.6%.  Trend still looks fairly stable and downside risks are fading as prospects of Fed easing increase.

We expect July durable goods orders to fall by 4.5%, extending a 9.4% decline in June, but still not quite fully reversing a 16.5% surge in May. Aircraft will continue to lead the moves. Ex transport we expect a 0.1% increase, in line with a trend that is now marginally positive.
