U.S. Durable Goods for March came in at 2.7%, well above the previous release (-1.1%) and expectations (0.8%).
During the pre-Wall Street open, U.S. Durable Goods Orders for March were released to the public. The numbers came in extremely strong, suggesting that consumption in March was up considerably. Of course, like most things in trading, correlations are not concrete. U.S. markets largely ignored the strong Durable Goods report and stocks weakened to open the session.

Intraday price action in the June E-mini DOW largely ignored the stats, trending south through the first hour of trade.
