Here comes the Dallas Fed ...

At 10:30 a.m. ET, we'll get the latest regional reading of manufacturing activity in Texas from the Dallas Fed.

Economists estimate, according to Bloomberg, that the index strengthened to -6.5 in October from -9.5 in the prior period.

The report is based on a survey of business leaders to take the pulse of factory activity, employment, and compensation, as well as the outlook.

The prior release noted that manufacturing activity in Texas was "essentially flat". Regional manufacturing surveys were generally weak across America in September.

We'll be back with the latest once the data cross.
