U.S. durable-goods orders rise for third straight month

The numbers: Orders for long-lasting durable goods rose in January for the third month in a row and business investment posted the biggest increase since last summer, indicating a key segment of the economy is still expanding at a steady if unspectacular pace.

If transportation is stripped out, orders dipped 0.1% owing to decline in bookings for new cars and trucks.
