Four Surprises Moved Nothing. A $69 Billion Auction Cleared 47 Basis Points Higher.

The CBI beat by 24 points and sterling made a new September low.

Australia's manufacturing PMI fell into contraction at 49.3 and AUD/USD sat at 0.7115. Iran offered to reopen Hormuz and the yen round-tripped fifty pips. The only directional information all session came from a $69bn two-year auction that scored in line on every demand metric — and cleared 47.2 basis points above July's.

Richmond Fed consensus

Richmond Missed by 4 Points or 7, Depending on Your Feed

Richmond printed −2 against forecasts of 2 and 5 — so the miss is four points or seven, a 75% difference on a print nobody disputes.

Euro area confidence is worse: the actual itself has three published values, −16.52, −16.5 and −17. We flagged the prior and the danger was in the actual column too. A feed dispute does not corrupt the level, it corrupts the surprise — and four more are on today's board.
