The Commerce Department reported Thursday U.S. durable goods orders fell 4.6% in November from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted $228.17 billion, slightly less than the median estimate of 4.7%. The decline was largely fueled by aircraft orders tanking from a month earlier.

The highly volatile civilian aircraft order component plummeted 73.5% from the prior month. Overall, orders for transportation equipment tanked 13.2%, the largest drop in more than two years.
