Economists estimate that orders fell 0.5%, after dropping 0.4% in the prior month, according to Bloomberg.
In a preview of this week's economic data, Barclays wrote: "The advance report on durable goods revealed that orders for durables fell 1.8% m/m, as a 35.3% m/m drop in nondefense aircraft orders outweighed modest 0.5% m/m growth non-transportation equipment. Prices, historically the best indicator for orders of nondurable goods, rose solidly in June on a seasonally-adjusted basis. As a result, we look for 1.6% m/m growth in nondurable goods to offset the decline in durables and leave total factory orders flat on the month."
