伊利诺伊州芝加哥市10月芝加哥商业景气指数回落至55.3仍处扩张区间：物价指数创2021年12月以来新高
伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市消息：10月30日公布的芝加哥商业景气指数显示，芝加哥地区商业活动扩张步伐放缓，但仍处增长区间。
该指数由MNI Indicators编制，10月报55.3，低于9月的58.8，也低于经济学家此前预期的56.0；读数高于50即表示扩张。拖累指数的是供应商交货、生产、订单积压与新订单等分项回落，就业分项的上升抵消了部分跌幅。
物价指数则上升8.9点，创2021年12月以来最高水平；连续第八个月，没有受访企业报告物价下降。总体看，芝加哥地区企业活动在10月仍在扩张，只是增速较9月的跳升有所回落，成本压力仍是企业面临的主要制约。

Chicago Business Barometer Slips to 55.3 in October, Still Expanding; Prices Paid Hit Highest Since December 2021
Chicago-area business activity expanded at a slower pace in October while remaining in growth territory, data released on October 30 showed. The Chicago Business Barometer, compiled by MNI Indicators, fell to 55.3 in October from 58.8 in September, below the 56.0 economists had expected; readings above 50 signal expansion.
The decline was driven by decreases in supplier deliveries, production, order backlogs and new orders, and was partially offset by an increase in employment. The prices paid measure rose 8.9 points to its highest level since December 2021, and for the eighth consecutive month no respondents reported lower prices paid.
