Statistic	For	Actual	Briefing Forecast	Market Expects	Prior
MBA Mortgage Index	11-Oct	5.60%	NA	NA	3.80%
Retail Sales	Sep	-0.30%	0.20%	-0.20%	0.60%
Retail Sales ex-auto	Sep	-0.20%	0.60%	0.30%	0.30%
PPI	Sep	-0.10%	0.00%	0.10%	0.00%
Core PPI	Sep	0.00%	0.10%	0.10%	0.10%
Empire Manufacturing	Oct	6.2	20	20.4	27.5
