UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Something for everyone'
The Federal Reserve Beige Book of anecdotal evidence changed little—a stable outlook with some concerns. In the details, manufacturers and retailers expressed concerns about tariff-induced cost increases. Lags in supply chains mean that for retailers it is probably a reference to the April tariffs. The absence of hiring continues in the labor market. The willingness of high income consumers to spend was noted.
UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Consumers versus prices'
US September retail sales data were old news, but slightly softer. While it is tempting to blame the accelerating US inflation rate, retail sales are nominal numbers and include inflation effects. Pessimism should be limited, however. The numbers will almost certainly be revised.

Credit card data suggests no reason to panic.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Still not hiring'
The September US employment report was finally released. This data’s quality has deteriorated dramatically—not because of the shutdown, but because survey response rates have been weak for some time, and the seasonal adjustment process in September has been a distortion in recent years. Payrolls rose, but so did the unemployment rate.
