Industrial production and manufacturing output see gains in September.
- Housing starts fall but remain above 2019 levels.
- Diesel prices continue to rise as distillate inventories are still very low.
- Truck spot metrics generally move seasonally while West Coast volume is lowest since May 2020.
- Intermodal volumes hold steady as harvest drives up rail carload volume.
