Orders for US durable goods declined to three-year record low
US durable goods orders fell 4% in January, reaching three-year record low as demand for business equipment and commercial aircraft contracted. Bookings for goods supposed to last minimum three years dropped four times more than economists surveyed by Bloomberg had predicted. In December 2011 orders for durable goods climbed revised 3.2%.
