PRISM REASONING

  • +Prior month already modestly positive at +0.85% per FRED data
FACTORS AGAINST
  • Headline durable goods series is volatile and aircraft orders can swing prints
  • Limited depth/liquidity suggests market might incorporate specialist information
RESOLUTION PATHS MODELED
April durable goods prints clearly positive, near consensus or above55%
Print modestly weak but still above -0.5% (e.g., small decline)14%
