U.S. payroll growth slows to 29,000
BLS reported September payroll growth of 29,000, after a revised 133,000 in August. Unemployment was 4.2%. July and August payroll changes were revised down by a combined 60,000; average hourly earnings rose 3.0% over the year.
U.S. services expand as input-cost pressure increases
ISM’s September services PMI was 54.9, down from 55.4 in August but still above the 50 expansion threshold. The prices index rose to 74.0 from 72.6, while the employment index increased to 50.1 from 47.8.
September Fed minutes keep inflation risk in focus
Minutes published on 7 October record September’s unanimous 25-basis-point increase to a 3.75–4.00% target range. Most participants then considered another increase likely appropriate by year-end, while stressing that future decisions would depend on incoming information.
U.S. trade deficit widens as imports outpace exports
BEA and Census reported an August goods-and-services deficit of $105.6 billion, compared with a revised $92.8 billion in July. Exports rose 1.4% to $315.2 billion and imports rose 4.3% to $420.8 billion; these figures are adjusted for seasonality, not prices.
Malaysia’s industrial output rises 5.0%
DOSM’s August industrial production index increased 5.0% from a year earlier. Manufacturing output rose 7.4% and electricity output rose 9.0%, while mining output fell 7.4%. The headline index increased 2.6% from July.
Malaysia’s unemployment rate eases to 2.9%
DOSM reported August employment of 16.87 million, up 0.2% from July. Unemployment fell to 2.9% from 3.0%, while labour-force participation rose to 71.0% from 70.9%.
U.S. sentiment edges lower as inflation expectations rise
The University of Michigan’s preliminary October sentiment index was 46.3, compared with 48.1 in September. Year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 4.7% from 4.6%, while long-run expectations increased to 3.5% from 3.4%. The final October reading is scheduled for 23 October.
