US manufacturing output rises in September
US manufacturing output saw an increase in September; however, momentum slowed significantly during Q3 due to rising headwinds from geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, which have affected supply chains and contributed to increased energy prices. This deceleration raises concerns about the sustainability of economic growth and its potential impact on the USD in the near term. Investors will closely monitor how these supply chain disruptions and energy price fluctuations may affect overall economic sentiment and currency stability.
