The Commerce Department said durable goods orders shot up by 3.1 percent in January after tumbling by a revised 1.8 percent in December.

Economists had expected durable goods orders to jump by 2.0 percent compared to the 2.2 percent slump that had been reported for the previous month.

Excluding the sharp increase in orders for transportation equipment, durable goods orders were unchanged in January after inching up by 0.1 percent in December. Ex-transportation orders were expected to rise by 0.3 percent.
