Oct Chicago Fed Nat'l Activity Beats Expectations
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) came in at +0.83 in October, vs 0.27 expected and +0.32 in Sep, suggesting that activity accelerated in the month, as opposed to the anticipated deceleration.
- Per the Chicago Fed, 3 of the 4 broad sub-indices (production, sales/orders/inventories, employment) made positive contributions in October (personal consumption/housing fell), and three of the four categories increased from September.
- From the release: " Sixty-one of the 85 individual indicators made positive contributions to the CFNAI in October, while 24 made negative contributions. Fifty-four indicators improved from September to October, 30 indicators deteriorated, and one was unchanged. Of the indicators that improved, eight made negative contributions."
- That said, the monthly readings can be volatile - the 3-month moving average, CFNAI-MA3, fell to +0.75 in Oct from +1.37 in Sep.
- Fairly limited market impact from the release.
