U.S goods and services deficit was $54.0 billion in September, up $0.7 billion from $53.3 billion in August

The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis announced today that the goods and services deficit was $54.0 billion in September, up $0.7 billion from $53.3 billion in August, revised.

September exports were $212.6 billion, $3.1 billion more than August exports. September imports were $266.6 billion, $3.8 billion more than August imports.

The September increase in the goods and services deficit reflected an increase in the goods deficit of $0.6 billion to $77.2 billion and a decrease in the services surplus of $0.1 billion to $23.2 billion.

Year-to-date, the goods and services deficit increased $40.7 billion, or 10.1 percent, from the same period in 2017. Exports increased $143.8 billion or 8.2 percent. Imports increased $184.5 billion or 8.6 percent.


12:39
Canada's merchandise trade deficit with the world narrowed to $416 million in September from $551 million in August

Imports fell 0.4%, while exports edged down 0.2%.

Owing to a large upward revision to imports for the August reference month, the trade balance originally reported as a $526 million trade surplus last month is now showing a $551 million deficit. Most of this revision was due to the import of three high value ships, which were reported after the publication of August data. Although late documentation of high-value transactions is common for trade data, the aggregate value these ships represent is infrequently received in late transactions.


12:38
Canadian unemployment rate decreased 0.1 percentage points to 5.8% as fewer people searched for work

Employment was little changed in October. The unemployment rate decreased 0.1 percentage points to 5.8% as fewer people searched for work. Since November 2017, the unemployment rate has ranged from 5.8% to 6.0%.

In the 12 months to October, the number of employed people grew by 206,000 or 1.1%, with the bulk of the gains in full-time work (+173,000). Over the same period, total hours worked rose by 0.7%.

Employment rose slightly in Saskatchewan, while there was little change in all other provinces.

More people were employed in business, building and other support services; wholesale and retail trade; and health care and social assistance. In contrast, there were fewer workers in "other services;" finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing; and natural resources.

There were fewer public sector employees in October, while there was little change in the number of private sector employees and the self-employed.

In October, employment increased for men in the core working ages of 25 to 54, and women aged 55 and over. On the other hand, there were fewer employed youths aged 15 to 24.


12:34

UK construction companies indicated a sustained increase in business activity during October

The overall rate of expansion improved slightly since September and was the second-strongest in 16 months. This mainly reflected a rebound in civil engineering activity, however, as both residential and commercial activity increased more slowly. Less positively, new projects rose only modestly and firms were the least optimistic regarding growth prospects in nearly six years.

At 53.2 in October, up from 52.1 in September, the seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS UK Construction Total Activity Index posted its second-highest level in 16 months.

The ongoing growth slowdown of the eurozone manufacturing economy continued at the start of the fourth quarter

Falling for a third month in succession and remaining well down on the record highs seen around the turn of the year, the IHS Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI declined to a level of 52.0 in October. That compared to 53.2 in September and was broadly unchanged on the earlier flash reading of 52.1. Market groups data showed that the slowdown in growth was broad-based. Intermediate goods producers fared worst recording concurrent falls in output, new orders and exports. Consumer goods showed some resilience, registering solid rises in both output and new work.

09:04
German manufacturing PMI rose less than expected in October

The headline IHS Markit/BME Germany Manufacturing PMI – a single-figure snapshot of the performance of the manufacturing economy – fell for the third month running in October, from 53.7 in September to a 29-month low of 52.2. The Index remained above the 50.0 no-change mark thanks in part to increases in output and employment, though growth slowed on both fronts.

Phil Smith, Principal Economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the Germany Manufacturing PMI survey, commented: "A second consecutive monthly decline in export orders poured more cold water on the manufacturing sector in October, with PMI data indicating the worst overall growth performance for almost two-and-a-half years. "Output barely rose compared with the month before, and the odds appear to be in favour of production falling in coming months rather than regaining momentum. New orders were down for the first time in four years in October and backlogs fell again. But perhaps most telling is the view of manufacturers that output levels are expected to be lower 12 months from now”.

For the first time since mid-2016, French manufacturing output contracted in October

At 51.2 in October, down from 52.5 in September, the seasonally adjusted IHS Markit France Manufacturing PMI pointed to a weaker improvement in operating conditions. Notably, this represented only a modest improvement in business conditions that was the weakest in 25 months.

Eliot Kerr, Economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the France Manufacturing PMI survey, said: "For the first time since mid-2016, French manufacturing output contracted in October. There was also weaker new business growth as new export orders contracted for the third time in four months. Survey respondents frequently mentioned a subdued automotive sector in explaining October's weaknesses. "For French manufacturers, profit margins may be squeezed as output prices rose more slowly than input prices in October. The sharp input cost inflation was attributed to higher rates for oil, steel and aluminium."

08:52
Italian manufacturing PMI at its lowest overall level for 46 months

Manufacturing conditions in Italy worsened in October, as a sharp reduction in new orders led to a further decline in output. In addition to falling total new work, export sales slipped into negative territory. On the price front, input prices rose at a sharp pace, but charges increased at a slower rate. The headline IHS Markit Italy Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) registered 49.2 during October to signal a slight deterioration in overall business conditions. Down from 50.0 in September, the index was below the critical 50.0 mark for the first time since August 2016 and at its lowest overall level for 46 months.

Spain's manufacturing sector continued to expand during October, with faster gains in output and new orders both recorded - Markit

As capacity came under renewed pressure, manufacturers added to their workforce numbers, albeit at a modest rate as business confidence regarding the future slumped to its lowest level since mid-2013. Meanwhile, latest data showed that rising prices for energy, foodstuffs and metals contributed to another round of noticeable input cost inflation.

Swiss turnover in the retail sector fell by 2.3% in nominal terms in September

Turnover in the retail sector fell by 2.3% in nominal terms in September 2018 compared with the previous year. This is the sharpest decline since December 2016.

Real turnover in the retail sector also adjusted for sales days and holidays fell by 2.7% in September 2018 compared with the previous year. Real growth takes inflation into consideration. Compared with the previous month, real, seasonally adjusted retail trade turnover registered a decline of 1.6%.

Australian retail sales rose 0.2 per cent in September vs +0.3% expected

Australian retail turnover rose 0.2 per cent in September 2018, seasonally adjusted, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Retail Trade figures.

This follows a 0.3 per cent rise in August 2018.

The rises were offset by a fall in clothing, footwear and personal accessories (-1.2 per cent), while three industries were relatively unchanged: Other retailing (0.0 per cent), household goods (0.0 per cent), and department stores (0.0 per cent).

In seasonally adjusted terms, there were rises in Victoria (0.7 per cent), Queensland (0.4 per cent), South Australia (0.4 per cent), and Tasmania (0.7 per cent). There were falls in New South Wales (-0.4 per cent) and the Northern Territory (-1.0 per cent), while Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory were relatively unchanged (0.0 per cent) in September 2018.
