An uptick in US demand

Hmm.. too early to be due to Obama's stimulus.

"The 3.4 percent increase [in demand for durable goods], the biggest gain in more than a year and the first in seven months, followed a 7.3 percent decrease in January that was larger than previously estimated, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Excluding transportation equipment, orders gained 3.9 percent, the most since August 2005." Extract from Bloomberg.com
