US manufacturing output rebounds in August. Production at U.S. factories surged in August amid a rebound in motor vehicle output, but data for the prior month was revised lower, suggesting that manufacturing continued to tread water. Factory output, manufacturing output increased 0.9% last month after a downwardly revised 0.7% drop in July, the Federal Reserve said on Tuesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory output would rise 0.3% after a previously reported 0.3% decline in July. Industrial production gets short-lived boost from cars, but U.S. manufacturers still depressed. Major part of the economy remains in a slump. Industrial production posted a bigger-than-expected increase in August, but most of the gain was tied to automobiles and there was little sign of a rebound in a depressed U.S. manufacturing sector. Output climbed 0.8% last month. Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a 0.2% increase in production. |

US Industrial Production Contracts Sharply in July. The Fed said industrial production had been held down by the early "July shutdowns concentrated in the petrochemical and related industries due to Hurricane Beryl," which came ashore in Texas. U.S. industrial production fell sharply in July, the Federal Reserve said Thursday, pointing to a larger-than-expected impact from Hurricane Beryl. The news is likely to add to calls for the Fed to cut its key lending rate from a two-decade high next month as its long-running campaign against inflation continues to percolate through to the broader economy. Total industrial output from a month earlier when it rose by a revised figure of 0.3%, the U.S. central bank said in a statement. This was sharply below market expectations of a 0.1% increase, according to Briefing.com. The Fed said industrial production had been held down by the early "July shutdowns concentrated in the petrochemical and related industries due to Hurricane Beryl," which came ashore in Texas. |

US manufacturing output beats expectations with 0.4% rise in June. Production at U.S. factories increased 0.6%, more than expected in June, contributing to a solid rebound in output in the second quarter, though higher borrowing costs remain a constraint for the manufacturing industry. Factory output rose 0.4% last month following an upwardly revised 1.0% increase in May, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory output would advance 0.2% after a previously reported 0.9% jump in May. Production at factories shot up 1.1% on a year-on-year basis in June. It increased at a 3.4% annualized rate in the second quarter, rebounding from the 1.3% pace of decline in the January-March quarter. Manufacturing, which accounts for 10.4% of the economy, has at best been treading water as higher interest rates curb demand for goods and make capital investment challenging. There is, however, optimism that activity at factories could pick up, with the U.S. central bank expected to start its monetary policy easing cycle in September amid subsiding inflation. |

US factory production rebounds from weather-induced slump. Production at U.S. factories increased more than expected in February amid a rise in temperatures, but data for the prior month was revised sharply down as manufacturing remains hamstrung by high interest rates. Manufacturing, which accounts for 10.3% of the economy, has been squeezed by 525 basis points worth of interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve since March 2022. The U.S. central bank is expected to leave rates unchanged at the end of a two-day policy meeting next Wednesday. Overall industrial production gained 0.1% in February after falling 0.5% in January. Industrial production fell 0.2% on a year-on-year basis in February. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector, a measure of how fully firms are using their resources, was unchanged at 78.3%. It is 1.3 percentage points below its 1972-2023 average. Financial markets anticipate rate cuts will start in June.The manufacturing sector continues to face headwinds from higher borrowing costs and tighter credit conditions. However, lower interest rates as the Fed starts cutting the target range this year, as well as an onshoring of supply networks may provide support to factory activity in 2024. Manufacturing output rebounded 0.8% last month after a downwardly revised 1.1% drop in the prior month, the Fed said. Factory output was previously reported to have dropped 0.5% in January, weighed down by frigid temperatures. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory output would rise 0.3%. Production at factories fell 0.7% on a year-on-year basis in February. Despite the overall weakness, there remain pockets of manufacturing strength. |

Production at U.S. factories increased more than expected in September despite strikes in the automobile industry curbing motor vehicle output, further evidence that the economy exited the third quarter with momentum. Manufacturing output rose 0.4% last month, the Federal Reserve said on Tuesday. Data for August was revised lower to show production at factories dipping 0.1% instead of nudging up 0.1% as previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory output would tick up 0.1%. Production dropped 0.8% on a year-on-year basis in September. It was unchanged in the third quarter. Durable goods manufacturing output rose at a 2.3% annualized rate, which was offset by a 2.4% pace of decline in nondurable manufacturing. Manufacturing accounts for 11.1% of the economy. But the worst for the sector is likely over, with the Institute for Supply Management's measure of national factory activity rising to a 10-month high in September. Industrial output increased at a 2.5% rate in the third quarter. That followed a 0.7% growth pace in the second quarter. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector, a measure of how fully firms are using their resources, rose 0.2 percentage point to 79.7% in September. It is now equal to its 1972–2022 average.

Production at U.S. factories unexpectedly fell in June, but rebounded in the second quarter as motor vehicle output accelerated after two straight quarterly declines. Manufacturing output dropped 0.3% last month, the Federal Reserve said on Tuesday. Data for May was revised down to show production at factories falling 0.2% instead of edging up 0.1% as previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory output would be unchanged. Production decreased 0.3% on a year-on-year basis in June. It rebounded at a 1.5% annualized rate in the second quarter after shrinking at a 0.2% pace in the January-March period. Factory output, which had also contracted in the fourth quarter, was boosted by a 36.7% surge in the production of motor vehicles and parts in the second quarter. Manufacturing, which accounts for 11.1% of the economy, has been hamstrung by 500 basis points worth of interest rate increases from the Fed since March 2022, when the U.S. central bank embarked on its fastest monetary policy tightening campaign in more than 40 years. Spending is also shifting to services and away from goods, which are typically bought on credit.

U.S. industrial production stagnated in January weighed by lower utilities output, but the key manufacturing sector rebounded from the falls recorded at year-end. Industrial production--which comprises manufacturing, mining and utility output--was unchanged in January after a revised 1% drop in December, data from the Federal Reserve showed Wednesday. The reading misses the 0.4% expansion expected by economists in a poll from The Wall Street Journal. The U.S. manufacturing sector lost momentum at the end of 2022 as high interest rates hit new demand for goods both domestically and globally. Economists don't expect the situation to improve significantly in the short-term as the drag from higher borrowing costs intensifies. Capacity utilization, which reflects how much industries are producing compared with what they could potentially produce, decreased marginally to 78.3% in January from 78.4% the prior month. |

U.S. manufacturing output tumbles in December. Production at U.S. factories fell more than expected in December and output in the prior month was weaker than previously thought, indicating that manufacturing was rapidly losing momentum as higher borrowing costs hurt demand for goods. Manufacturing output dropped 1.3% last month, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday. Data for November was revised lower to show production at factories decreasing 1.1% instead of the previously reported 0.6%. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory production would decline 0.3%. Output fell 0.5% on a year-on-year basis in December. It decreased at a 2.5% annualized rate in the fourth quarter. Higher interest rates are undercutting demand for goods, which are mostly bought on credit. The dollar's past appreciation and a softening in global demand are also hurting manufacturing, which accounts for 11.3% of the U.S. economy. In addition, spending is also shifting back to services. |

Production at U.S. factories dropped more than expected in November as a decline in the output of motor vehicles offset gains elsewhere, according to data on Thursday, which showed manufacturing retaining some momentum. Manufacturing output fell 0.6% last month, the Federal Reserve said on Thursday. Data for October was revised higher to show production at factories gaining 0.3% instead of the previously reported 0.1%. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory production would dip 0.1% last month. Output increased 1.2% year-on-year in November. Manufacturing, which accounts for 11.3% of the economy, is being hampered by higher borrowing costs that are dampening demand and business fixed investment. Spending is also shifting back to services while businesses are sitting on excess inventory, leaving them hesitant to place more orders with factories. Capacity utilization for the manufacturing sector, a measure of how fully firms are using their resources, fell to 78.9% last month from 79.5% in October.

Production at U.S. factories dropped for a second straight month in June as output of motor vehicles and a range of other goods declined, suggesting that higher interest rates were hurting the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing output fell 0.5% last month, matching the decline in May, the Federal Reserve said on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory production would slip 0.1%. Output increased 3.6% compared to June 2021. Industrial output was unchanged in May. It grew at a 6.1% rate in the April-June quarter after increasing at a 5.1% pace in the first quarter. Capacity utilization for the manufacturing sector, a measure of how fully firms are using their resources, fell 0.5 percentage point to 79.3% in June. It is 1.1 percentage points above its long-run average. Overall capacity use for the industrial sector slipped to 80.0% last month from 80.3% in May. It is 0.4 percentage point above its 1972-2021 average. |

Industrial output increases 0.2%. Production at U.S. factories unexpectedly fell in May, the latest sign of cooling economic activity as the Federal Reserve aggressively tightens monetary policy to tame inflation. Slowing growth was indicated in other data showing a gauge of future economic activity declining in May for a third straight month. Other data this week showed a drop in retail sales last month as well as steep declines in homebuilding and permits. Weakness in manufacturing output also reflects a shift in spending from goods to services. Manufacturing output dipped 0.1% last month, the first decline since January, after increasing 0.8% in April, the Fed said. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory production gaining 0.3%. Output rose 4.8% compared to May 2021. |

After reporting a modest decrease in U.S. industrial production in the previous month, the Federal Reserve released a report on Wednesday showing production rebounded by much more than anticipated in the month of January. The Fed said industrial production jumped by 1.4 percent in January 2022 after edging down by 0.1 percent in December. Economists had expected industrial production to rise by 0.4 percent. The much bigger than expected rebound in industrial production was led by a spike in utilities output, which skyrocketed by 9.9 percent in January after tumbling by 1.8 percent in December. The Fed also said capacity utilization for the industrial sector rose to 77.6 percent in January from an upwardly revised 76.6 percent in December. Economists had expected capacity utilization to inch up to 76.8 percent from the 76.5 percent originally reported for the previous month. |

Industrial production rose for a fourth consecutive month in June 2021, but the details of the report were a mixed bag. Ongoing supply chain issues were highly visible in today's report, with overall manufacturing activity falling 0.1% in June, the result of a 6.6% decline in auto production. A major contributor to this drop was the ongoing shortage of semiconductors which continues to keep finished cars from rolling off assembly lines. Meanwhile, manufacturing outside the auto sector rose 0.4% in June, and now sits above its pre-pandemic high. in June, manufacturing output edged down 0.1%, as an ongoing shortage of semiconductors contributed to a decrease of 6.6% in the production of motor vehicles and parts. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, factory output increased 0.4%. The output of utilities advanced 2.7%, reflecting heightened demand for air conditioning, as much of the country experienced a heat wave in June. The index for mining increased 1.4%. |

American industry expanded for the fourth consecutive month in January 2021, but it has yet to return to the level of activity that preceded the pandemic.
U.S. industrial production — which includes output factories, mines and utiliites — rose 0.9% last month on top of increases of 1.3% in December, 0.9% in November and 1.1% in October, the Federal Reserve reported Wednesday. Still, industrial production was down 1.8% from January 2020, reflecting lingering economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic. While the January 2021 activity was greater than most economists had projected, it was 1.8% below production in January 2020, reflecting lingering economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic. |

U.S. industrial production rose 1.6% in December 2021, a third straight monthly gain, but remains below its pre-pandemic level. The December gain in industrial output followed a 0.5% increase in November and a 1% increase in October, the Federal Reserve reported Friday. Even with those gains, industrial output is still about 3.3% below its level in February before the pandemic hit. Manufacturing increased 0.9%, its eighth straight monthly gain, even as production of motor vehicles and parts declined 1.6%. That follows a string of gains for the auto sector, including last month's strong 5% increase. Without the drag in the auto sector last month, manufacturing posted gains of 1.1%. Mining production rose 1.6%, while utilities' output rose 6.2% as a rebound in December demand followed a 4.2% decline in November due to unseasonably warm weather. U.S. industry operated at 74.5% of capacity in December, still below the pre-pandemic rate of 76.9% in February.

| How the "Industrial Production" Affects You? |
Industrial production and capacity utilization are important measures of current output for the US economy and helps to define turning points in the business cycle.
This two measures also indicate trends in the manufacturing sector and whether resource utilization is strained enough to forebode inflation.
The Federal Reserve's monthly index of industrial production and the related capacity indexes and capacity utilization rates cover manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. The industrial sector, together with construction, accounts for the bulk of the variation in national output over the course of the business cycle.
The production index measures real output and is expressed as a percentage of real output in a base year, currently 2007. The capacity index, which is an estimate of sustainable potential output, is also expressed as a percentage of actual output in 2007. The rate of capacity utilization equals the seasonally adjusted output index expressed as a percentage of the related capacity index.
Industrial production and capacity utilization indicate not only trends in the manufacturing sector, but also whether resource utilization is strained enough to forebode inflation.
Also, industrial production is an important measure of current output for the economy and helps to define turning points in the business cycle (start of recession and start of recovery).
Capacity Utilization
Labor productivity, or output per hour, is calculated by dividing an index of real output by an index of hours worked of all persons, including employees, proprietors, and unpaid family workers.
BLS defines unit labor costs as the ratio of hourly compensation to labor productivity; increases in hourly compensation tend to increase unit labor costs and increases in output per hour tend to reduce them.
