Capacity utilization according to the SIA report for October...

The SIA reported that capacity utilization declined modestly in the third quarter, falling from 95 percent to 93 percent. Factory utilization for leading-edge facilities and foundries remained strong, at 96 percent and 98 percent respectively. Sales in all geographic regions except Japan were up sequentially in October.

Normally SIA reports later, more like the first week of next month.
