Factory Orders Rebound Strongly in July
Despite Manufacturing PMIs sliding, US Factory orders were expected to rebound from a two-month decline in July (the latest data reported today) and rebound they did, rising 0.9% MoM (more than the expected 0.7% increase) with June's 0.3% decline revised up to a 0.2% decline...
That is the best monthly rise since April, lifting orders up 9.9% YoY - the second best annual gain since Oct 2022!
Core Factory orders rose 0.6% MoM (significantly better than the expected 0.4% rise)...
That is the 8th rise in Core Orders in the last nine months with annual growth holding above 9% YoY.
And no, it wasn't all war spending as Ex-Defense, orders still rose 0.98% MoM and 8.79% YoY...
The final July headline and core durable goods order printed the same as the preliminary data (+1.1% MoM and +0.4% MoM respectively)
Headline durable goods orders are up 13.0% YoY!
But Orders and Shipments for Non-Defense, Ex-Aircraft Capital Goods fell notably from their preliminary levels (0.0% MoM vs 0.3% exp and +1.2% vs +1.4% exp respectively).
Hard to argue the economy is in trouble based on this data BUT this is July... so very stale.

192 House Democrats Refuse To Condemn Socialism As Party Scrambles To Avert DSA Civil War
It is not surprising whatsoever that nearly every House Democrat voted against a Republican-led resolution condemning socialism, giving Republicans fresh campaign material for the upcoming midterm elections amid the rise of the cancerous Democratic Socialists of America within the increasingly unhinged left-wing party.
The nonbinding resolution, introduced by Republican Rep. Jeff Crank of Colorado, called on Congress to denounce “socialism in all its forms,” reject socialist policies in the US and support implementation of President Trump’s election-security legislation.
The measure passed 220-192. All Republicans supported it, along with eight Democrats: Kathy Castor, Vicente Gonzalez, Henry Cuellar, Darren Soto, Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Don Davis and Gabe Vasquez.
“The DSA candidate platform stands in direct contrast to our republic,” Crank, who introduced the measure, said ahead of the vote. “Getting rid of the United States Senate, open borders, defunding the police, allowing non-citizens to vote in federal elections; those aren’t consistent with our Constitution.”
🚨 JUST IN: US House votes to condemn socialism and a whopping 192 DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST IT
Final vote: 220-192
Read that again: 192 House Democrats, a vast SUPERMAJORITY, support socialism!
This is terrifying.

To better understand DSA, we recently published a five-tiered “rainbow cake” mapping out the modern left, which places DSA on the far left within the reformist-socialist cohort.
Meanwhile, the unofficial spokesman for DSA, Hasan Piker, has called on his followers to “kill capitalist”...

“Yeah kill them! KiII those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood, dude.”

As we’ve pointed out, the DSA is selling the American public on an affordability pitch, but the agenda really has nothing to do with that, considering that its members are far-left and hell-bent on what they describe, in their own words, as “destroying the nation from within.”
Recently, DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer confirmed her party’s radical agenda:
- Abolishing the Senate, presidency, and Supreme Court
- Abolishing ICE, borders and prisons
- Defunding the Pentagon
- Mass amnesty for illegals

DSA chapter plans ‘Riots and Uprisings’ reading club to study ‘how people struggled’ https://t.co/GZSEHsLDFj
— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) August 19, 2026As we explained last month, citing Andy Laperriere, Piper Sandler's head of US policy research in Washington, younger Americans have no lived memory of Soviet breadlines or the refugee waves produced by failed communist states. That gap has made it easier to repackage far-left ideology without confronting its record.
Examples include:
The Democratic Party establishment is freaking out about DSA’s rise within the party. We’ve explained that socialist victories in local elections and the White House’s branding of DSA’s ascent as a communist takeover could benefit Republicans ahead of the midterms in five ways (read here).

All in all, yesterday’s vote exposed the Democratic Party’s unwillingness to splinter the party and denounce DSA ahead of the midterms, because doing so would cause a civil war within the party. As for the American people, “destroying the nation from within,” as per DSA’s plan, is not a popular position among average voters.
Another headwind for DSA is that its socialist friends in South America have been rejected in a generational shift across a majority of those countries. Nomura expects the right-wing populist wave to gain momentum across Europe over the next 18 months, indicating that markets favor that shift.
