Kansas Fed Manufacturing Activity last printed 20 on Thu, Sep 24, 2026 against a 17 prior. The next release is Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
Kansas City's Tenth District takes in the Plains and the energy belt, so this survey picks up capital spending in the oil patch that the coastal surveys miss. It is usually the last of the regional factory surveys to print before ISM manufacturing, so it closes out the month's nowcast, the running estimate traders build before the official ISM number lands. The comparison is against the prior month, and zero is the line between expansion and contraction.
Kansas City rarely moves Treasuries by itself, and a beat leans only mildly bearish. You read it to see whether it confirms or breaks what the earlier regionals already said about the ISM setup. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
