Producer prices for September will be released simultaneously and are expected by both TD and the market to rise by 0.2% m/m for the headline index due to the impact of higher energy prices. Excluding food, energy and trade, prices should post a more subdued 0.1% increase.
University of Michigan consumer sentiment for October will be released later in the morning; both TD and the market look for a 91.8 print, up from 91.2 in the prior month.
Lastly, we look for August business inventories to post an above-consensus 0.2% m/m gain (mkt: 0.1% m/m), a slight improvement over the flat print in July.”
