U.S. Trade Deficit Widens Another $8.2 Billion and Durable Goods Orders Decline

Orders for durable goods, big-ticket items that are meant to last over three years, have fallen 0.4% in September, the first decline since April of this year. This comes amid continuing labor shortages and increased material costs. General Motors and Boeing Co. specifically have felt the brunt of the supply chain issues with the releases of their quarterly earnings today, demonstrating less than stellar reports. The U.S. trade deficit also widened another 9.2%, equating to an additional $8.2 billion deficit. Real Vision Daily Briefing viewers are in for a treat as both Darius Dale, founder and CEO of 42 Macro, and Peter Boockvar, CIO of Bleakley Advisory Group and editor of The Boock Report, come together to discuss the macro variables impacting the economy.
