U.S. DURABLE GOODS ORDERS SURGED BY 2 PERCENT IN JUNE largely due to an increase in civilian aircraft orders. Core capital goods orders rose 1.9 percent on year-over-year basis suggesting the economy is picking up steam after two months of weak data. “The U.S. economy is stronger today because the rest of the world is in a recession. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work, but that’s the way it’s working now. Because the rest of the world is in a recession, our interest rates are scraping bottom. And because our interest rates are scraping bottom, our economy is actually doing pretty darn well,” said Todd Buchholz, former White House director of economic policy under President George H.W. Bush “Eighty-eight percent of our economy has pretty much nothing at all to do with exports or imports.”
