New orders for U.S. manufactured goods fell in January by the most in three years as demand fell across the board from machinery to aircraft, suggesting the economy started the year on weaker footing than expected.
Durable goods orders dropped 4.0 percent, the biggest drop since January 2009 when the country was still mired in a deep recession, according to Commerce Department data on Tuesday.
Economists had forecast orders falling 1.0 percent.
Durable goods range from toasters to big-ticket items like aircraft which are meant to last three years and more.
Excluding transportation, orders fell 3.2 percent. Economists had expected that reading to be flat. Machinery orders dropped 10.4 percent, the largest decline since January 2009.
Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for future business investment, fell 4.5 percent, the steepest drop in a year.
A 6.1 percent drop in bookings for transportation equipment - including a 19 percent fall in civilian aircraft orders - dragged on the overall reading for durable goods.
Boeing received 150 orders for aircraft during the month, according to the plane maker's website, down from 287 in December.
Orders for motor vehicles edged up 0.9 percent.
Shipments of non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, which go into the calculation of gross domestic product, fell 3.1 percent in January, the biggest decline since April 2009.
Home prices fell in December for a fourth straight month in most major U.S. cities, as modest sales gains in the depressed housing market have yet to lift prices.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home-price index shows prices dropped in December from November in 18 of the 20 cities tracked. The steepest declines were in Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit. Miami and Phoenix were the only cities to show an increase.
The declines partly reflect the typical slowdown that comes in the fall and winter.
Still, prices fell in 19 of the 20 cities in December compared to the same month in 2010. Only Detroit posted a year-over-year increase.
"Momentum matters in the housing market — different from the stock market — and we are still on a downward momentum path," Robert Shiller, founder of the Case-Shiller index, told CNBC.
Prices have fallen 34 percent nationwide since the housing bust, to 2002 levels.
However, other indicators are showing that housing has shown improvement, even if it's not reflected in prices yet.
"If you look at a broad range of indicators, you'll see volume is increasing, sales are improving...Prices are the last thing to turn," said David Blitzer, chairman of the S&P Index Committee. "You've got to get people into the market, looking, get a few buying, then maybe, maybe you'll get prices to turn. When? I wish I knew as well. Hopefully, real soon."
