Israel tightens second lockdown as coronavirus cases soar

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER 
 WASHINGTON (AP) — Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods increased just 0.4% in August following a much larger gain in the previous month. 
 The Commerce Department reported Friday that the August advance marked the fourth consecutive increase but was far lower than the 11.7% surge seen in July.
 Economists had expected a slowdown after big gains following the sharp declines in the spring due to the coronavirus shutdowns. However, the 0.4% August increase was below expectations.
 A key category that tracks business investment plans was up 1.8% in August after stronger increases of 2.5% in July and 4.3% in June.
