August's total gain was revised up to 0.1% from no change, and output grew at a 2.8% annualized rate in the third quarter. September production was 2.2% higher than a year earlier.

- Rocket Lab (RKLB) Is Emerging As A Key Launch Option For Commercial Stations
NASA is citing Rocket Lab (NasdaqGS:RKLB) as a launch option for future commercial space station missions as the ISS nears retirement. NASA is shifting to a new acquisition model that funds privately owned space stations to succeed the ISS over the coming decade. Rocket Lab's Neutron rocket, targeted for a 2027 debut, is positioned to address launch capacity constraints for small and medium satellites in this ecosystem. The analysis suggests Neutron could expand the company's addressable market, but delays and high R&D spending remain risks that pressure cash and execution.
- Wells Fargo wants customers to prove they've revoked AI agents
Wells Fargo is reportedly the first bank to require customers to prove they have revoked AI agents' access to their accounts, or else be liable for any rogue agent activity. An updated online access agreement effective Nov. 24 makes customers responsible for revoking authorization, keeping evidence, and providing it on request, and they remain liable until they notify the bank. A Wells Fargo spokesman said revocations may happen outside the bank, so it may lack visibility into when they occur. Douglas Borthwick called the requirement unrealistic, noting that a screenshot shows a request to stop but not that the agent stopped, and that screenshots are easy to fake. Elaine Duffus of Wolters Kluwer raised questions about who is at fault among customer, bank and AI provider when an agent goes off script, and said an agent-governance layer would let banks spot problems and intervene.
