THE ECONOMY.(TO THE POINT)
Factory orders rise 0.9% in April
New orders for planes and cars rose, but some electronics and non-durables fell, the Commerce Dept. said. Economists had forecast a 1% gain. Factory orders ex transportation fell 0.2%. Nondefense capital goods orders ex aircraft gained 1.7% to reverse March's declines. March orders were also revised up sharply to a 0.7% gain from 0.1%.
Mortgage rates dip, but rise seen
The average 30-year rate hit a 3-month low of 5.62% this week vs. 5.65% last week. But Freddie Mac said an improving job market and a growing economy are set to push rates higher in coming months. The 15-year rate fell slightly to 5.20%, as one-year ARM rose to 4.26% from 4.21%. Officials expect housing to stay healthy.
