The October data does not look optimistic for the Fed. On one hand, the main manufacturing index comes in low, suggesting continued negative sentiment in the industry. On the other hand, we see a significant rebound in the price sub-index. Following the data release, the dollar has gained strongly, indicating that investors are primarily focused on the higher readings for the price sub-index.
