U.S. consumer prices rose 0.3% in September as the cost of gasoline and rents jumped.  But underlying inflation showed signs of moderating amid a slowdown in the pace of increases in healthcare costs. The year-on-year increase in the core CPI was 2.2% through September. (Reuters)

The National Association of Home Builders Housing Market Index fell 2 points in October to 63. Anything above 50 is considered positive sentiment.

Oregon’s largest employer and the world's largest chipmaker, Intel, reported its strongest quarterly growth in nearly five years in the third-quarter. Total profits climbed 9.1%. Intel is in the middle of a transition, reducing its dependence on the fading PC market. Sales from the data center business, which offers storage and cloud-based software services, rose 9.7% from a year earlier. Revenue from the company's PC business, which accounts for over half of Intel's total revenue, rose 4.5%. (AP)
