four
point
three
percent
that
is
a
nice
jump
and
i
know
many
may
question
data
gathering
but
on
the
surface
this
would
be
the
strongest
quarter
going
back
to
the
third
quarter
of
twenty
twenty
three
when
it
was
four
point
seven
this
is

strong
three
point
five
on
consumption
blows
away
the
two
point
seven
we
were
expecting
that
would
be
the
best
since
the
last
quarter
of
twenty
four
on
the
price
index
here's
some
not
good
news
three
point
eight
percent
on
the
price
index
that's
much
higher
than
two
point
seven
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
00:55.870
we're
looking
for
much
higher
than
two
point
one
in
the
rear
view
mirror
that
would
equal
first
quarter
of
twenty
three
to
find
a
higher
price
structure
you'd
have
to
go
to
the
last
quarter
of
twenty
twenty
two
when
we
had
three
point
nine
percent
now
if
you
look
at
core
a
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
01:12.390
different
story
the
price
index
was
warm
core
well
as
expected
but
still
warm
two
point
nine
is
what
we
were
looking
for
a
quarter
of
a
quarter
personal
consumption
expenditure
price
index
now
issue
is
two
point
six
was
our
last
look
so
it's
up
three
tenths
two
point
nine
well
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
01:31.670
two
point
nine
would
be
the
warmest
since
we're
at
three
point
three
and
just
the
first
quarter
of
this
year
now
let's
go
to
philly
fed
non
manufacturing
comes
in
at
minus
sixteen
point
eight
that
is
actually
very
close
to
expectations
that
would
be
the
weakest
read
since
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
01:47.470
october
's
minus
twenty
two
now
let's
go
to
durable
goods
these
numbers
are
october
preliminary
minus
two
point
two
percent
we're
expecting
minus
one
and
a
half
percent
that
would
be
the
weakest
durable
goods
outlook
since
july
of
this
year
and
if
we
look
at
X
transportation
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
02:06.150
well
it
definitely
improves
close
to
expectations
up
two
tenths
of
a
percent
up
two
tenths
well
we're
up
six
tenths
our
last
look
which
now
got
upgraded
to
up
seven
tenths
to
give
you
an
idea
up
two
tenths
is
actually
the
weakest
quarter
going
back
to
unchanged
quarter
and
that
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
02:25.150
was
in
april
of
twenty
five
april
of
twenty
five
let's
look
at
non
defense
ex
air
this
is
a
proxy
for
capital
spending
coming
in
up
half
of
one
percent
better
than
expected
very
solid
revision
in
the
rearview
mirror
to
up
one
point
one
up
one
point
one
would
comp
to
may
when
it
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
02:43.630
was
up
one
point
nine
up
point
five
well
up
zero
point
five
would
be
actually
the
weakest
going
back
to
minus
one
point
five
in
april
but
still
a
solid
number
and
finally
let's
go
to
shipments
on
the
shipment
site
up
seven
tenths
this
is
good
news
things
are
moving
again
this
is
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
03:01.670
multiples
of
the
up
three
tenths
we're
looking
for
and
in
the
rearview
mirror
a
very
healthy
revision
from
up
nine
tenths
to
up
one
point
two
after
all
of
that
what's
going
on
well
interest
rates
are
to
the
upside
a
bit
and
that
may
have
something
to
do
with
the
pricing
index
on
Rick Santelli (On-air Editor)
03:17.510
the
negative
news
side
but
on
the
positive
news
side
better
GDP
is
always
good
we'll
let
the
experts
pick
apart
the
day
the
gathering
and
all
the
issues
overtime
that
should
smooth
out
but
as
i
said
on
the
surface
powerful
number
the
pre
opening
equities
haven't
really
responded

much
dow
jones
was
down
the
dow
futures
was
down
about
twenty
before
the
data
release
it's
now
down
about
thirty
seven
real
quickly
gang
should
we
close
here
in
the
dollar
index
would
be
a
two

a
half
