The second straight month of surplus in the current account as the services account surplus widened to $3.7 billion from $1.8 billion 2020, and the gap of goods account dropped to $1.0 billion from $ 3.8 billion.

UK Manufacturing Production

UK factory output increased by 2.8 percent year-on-year in September 2021, missing market expectations of 3.1 percent and indicating the slowest growth in seven months.  

Meanwhile, the manufacturing production decreased on a monthly basis to -0.10 percent in September from 0.50 percent in August of 2021

The manufacturing declined 0.1 percent month-on-month, weighed down by contractions in the manufacturing of coke and refined petroleum products, with 28.6 percent remaining below pre-pandemic levels. Downward pressure also came from the manufacture of computers, electronics, and other optical products.

Euro Area Interest Rate

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said at a press conference that the medium-term inflation outlook remains weak, and therefore the ECB is unlikely to raise interest rates for the following year.

At its latest monetary policy meeting, the European Central Bank left its monetary policy unchanged and pledged again to keep interest rates at record low levels until inflation rises to the ECB's 2 percent target by the middle of its forecast horizon and stays there at a low level on a durable basis.

Mexico Industrial Production

Mexico's industrial production increased by 1.6 percent in September 2021 from a year earlier, slowing from an upwardly revised 5.5 percent increase the previous month and missing market expectations for a rise of 3.9 percent.

On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial production unexpectedly declined 0.4 percent after a revised flat reading in August and compared to market estimates for an increase of 0.1 percent.
