On the economic data front, a report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showed a downturn in regional manufacturing activity in the month of October. The New York Fed said its general business conditions index fell to a negative 4.6 in October from a positive 1.9 in September, with a negative reading indicating a contraction in activity. Street had expected the index to drop to a negative 7.0. Twenty-four percent of respondents reported that conditions had improved over the month, while twenty-nine percent reported that conditions had worsened. The pullback by the headline index partly reflected a downturn in new orders, as the new orders index slumped to a negative 4.2 in October from a positive 5.1 in September.
