- RBS NatWest on auto sales: "while consumers remain confident of their economic

and financial situation, the auto sector faces headwinds from rising interest

rates and limited incentive spending. That said, sales may have picked up around

the Columbus Day holiday, which would have kept the October pace of sales close

to the year-to-date average of 17.1 million units."
