    US light-vehicle sales mixed again in September

    Written by David Schollaert

    US light-vehicle (LV) sales fell to an unadjusted 1.17 million units in September, down 12.8% from a year ago, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported. Despite the year-on-year (y/y) drop, domestic LV sales rose 3.3% month on month (m/m).

    On an annualized basis, LV sales were 15.8 million units in September, up from 15.3 million units the month prior and slightly ahead of a consensus forecast of 15.7 million units.
