"The (latest durable goods orders) data point to another double-digit annualized gain in business equipment spending in the (second-quarter gross domestic product) release."Separately, official data showed Thursday that US real GDP increased at a 2.1% annualized rate in the first quarter, up from 1.6% growth reported in the second estimate.Price: $219.45, Change: $-0.80, Percent Change: -0.36%
