The Producer Price Index for September made a month-over-month decrease of 0.6%, which is a surprise considering that many had expected it to be flat. Core producer prices, which exclude food and energy, were down 0.1%, which contrasts with the 0.1% increase that was widely expected. Meanwhile, housing starts for September came in at an annualized rate of 590,000, which is up slightly from the downwardly revised rate of 587,000 for August, but shy of the 610,000 unit rate that was widely expected. Building permits came in at an annualized rate of 573,000, which is below the rate of 595,000 that had been widely expected and down from the rate of 580,000 that was registered in August. |
