Contradictory Market Movements in Industrial Sector

  • Industrials down despite strong factory data
  • Factory orders up 9.9% in July
  • Transportation goods category contributes to increase
  • Boeing shares slip due to Starliner spacecraft issue

Shares of industrial and transportation companies experienced a slight decline, despite a significant increase of 9.9% in factory orders for long-lasting goods such as cars and machinery in July, according to the Commerce Department. The rise was partly due to the volatile transportation goods category, which includes high-priced items like jets and aerospace supplies. Boeing’s shares dropped after NASA announced that its Starliner spacecraft would not bring back two astronauts it had previously sent to the International Space Station, opting for a SpaceX craft due to concerns about the Starliner’s engineering.
