Last closure
On Thursday, October 15, trades in USA have come to the end with growth, following signs that recent lackluster economic data have reduced the odds of a rate increase by the Federal Reserve this year. Data on Thursday showed U.S. consumer prices fell a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in September, the latest piece of disappointing data to complicate the Fed's plans to raise rates. Earlier disappointing readings on inflation, jobs growth and consumer spending have also fueled doubts over the central bank's plans. Initial unemployment claims dropped by 7,000 to 255,000 in the week ended Oct. 10, a Labor Department report showed Thursday. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for 270,000 applications. The decline brought the monthly average to its lowest level since December 1973. In a report, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said that its manufacturing index improved to -4.5 this month from September's reading of -6.0.
