1240 GMT [Dow Jones] Larger-than-expected drop in Sep US PPI and worse-than-expected US Sep housing starts.
1239 GMT [Dow Jones] The core producer price index, which excludes food and energy, fell 0.1% in Sep, versus expectations for a 0.1% increase. It was up 1.8% from a year ago. The weak inflation reading shows how difficult it is for producers to raise prices amid weak demand. That is causing a cost squeeze since input prices--outside of energy--are mostly rising. Intermediate goods prices rose 0.2% in September, but core intermediate goods increased 0.9%. Prices of raw materials, known as crude goods, fell 2.1% on the month, but core crude goods prices increased 3.6%. (KGM)
234 GMT [Dow Jones] Housing starts climbed only 0.5% in Sept to a 590,000 annual rate, and August starts were revised down. Economists forecast a 2.0% increase in September starts, to an annual rate of 610,000. Permits in September dropped 1.2% to a 573,000 annual rate. Economists had expected permits to rise by 2.8%. Housing has been lifted by a federal tax credit, but that is expected to expire on Dec. 1. (KGM)
