11:22 AM EST, 11/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Kansas City Fed monthly manufacturing index rose to a reading of 8 in November from 6 in October, compared with expectations for a decrease to a 3 print in a survey compiled by Bloomberg as of 7:35 am ET, indicating faster expansion in the sector.

Other regional manufacturing data already released have been mixed.

The ISM's national manufacturing reading will be released on Dec. 1.

Within the Kansas City data, there were index gains for production, shipments and employment, but declines in the readings for prices paid and new orders.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
