Economists who map the CPI and PPI into the PCE expect core prices to have increased 0.34% in September (4.2% annualized, 3.1% year-over year) This would be the highest monthly reading since January's 0.40% core PCE print

Chinese crude oil imports are set to hit their higher level since pulling back through the Iran War right in time for the US Midterm elections. Funny, that.

#China has burned through much of a petrochemicals glut built up by years of overproduction as the US-Iran war chokes oil flows, setting the stage for higher prices for an array of industrial materials. The squeeze is most acute in the so-called aromatics chain and the downstream products made from these chemicals, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. and commodities data provider ICIS. That includes rubber for car tires and electrical insulation, resins, and plastic bottles, as well as various paints and coatings. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Fantasy: “more oil is flowing out of Hormuz than before the war” Reality: “THE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ARE HEMORRHAGING CRUDE OIL INVENTORIES” The EIA just reported the US alone lost 9mb of crude inventories in ONE WEEK

U.S. TAPS EMERGENCY DIESEL RESERVE AS PRICES HIT $6.32 The Trump administration will release 315,000 barrels from the Northeast's 1 million-barrel heating oil reserve as diesel prices surge ahead of the midterm elections. Diesel now averages $6.32 per gallon, according to AAA, amid disruptions linked to the Iran war. Deliveries are expected by November 13. The key takeaway: Washington is tapping emergency fuel supplies to ease pressure from soaring energy costs.

BREAKING: America’s $1.7 trillion auto loan market is headed for a crash, per Reuters. Auto loans are now one of the biggest sources of household debt, bigger than credit cards. And the strain is showing: 1 in 5 Americans is behind on at least one loan, the highest since 2010, and the average car on the road is now nearly 13 years old, a record.
