The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) rose to +0.65 in October, an expansion high that is significantly stronger than the forecast and average. The consensus forecast called for a +0.20 reading and ranged from +0.05 to +0.25.

The 3-month average is also near a high, increasing to +0.28 in October from +0.01 in September. One of the four broad categories of indicators that make up the index increased from September, but three of the four categories made positive contributions to the index in October.
