U.S. Consumer confidence falls, as Durable goods rises – 27th October

Fundamental data released in the U.S. painted a conflicting picture, concerning the health of the world’s largest domestic economy.

Reports showed that Orders of core US Durable Goods increased to a six-year high in September, coming in at 1.9% vs the expected rise of 0.5%. However, as this figure rose, the Consumer Confidence index fell, and was recorded at a reading of 100.9 in October, from 101.3 in September.

Consumer confidence has fallen as COVID-19 cases in the US reached their highest levels since the start of the pandemic.
