Coming up on the US economic data calendar for Monday 30 October 2017
Due at 1230 GMT
Personal Income m/m
- expected 0.4%, prior 0.2%
Consumer Spending m/m
- expected 0.9%, prior 0.1%
PCE Price Index (PCE Deflator)
- expected 0.4% m/m, prior 0.2%
- expected 1.6%, y/y, prior 1.4%
Core PCE price index ... this is a Federal Reserve preferred measure of inflation
- expected 0.1% m/m, prior 0.1%
- expected 1.3% y/y, prior 1.3%
- Watch this for any surprises ... a lower than expected will raise questions about a December hike while higher will likely cement it
Due at 1430 GMT - the Dallas Federal Reserve Survey of Manufacturing Activity for October, which will be the final of the regional surveys for October.
- expected 21.0, prior 21.3
- In September the result was seemingly unaffected by Hurricane Harvey ... it (the Dallas manufacturing survey, not the hurricane) accelerated to 21.3 from 17.0 in August! The employment measure stayed around at a multi-year high
