what happened
The Federal Reserve reported that US industrial production climbed 0.7% month on month in September, while economists had expected a 0.4% gain. The August figure was revised up from 0.0% to 0.1%. The data was reported by Seeking Alpha.
Utilities output drove much of the increase, surging 3.5% after a 1.5% rise in August. Manufacturing output gained 0.3%, and mining output edged up 0.2%. Capacity utilization rose to 76.9%, above the 76.5% consensus and the revised 76.4% reading for August.
why it matters
A stronger-than-expected report points to resilience in the real economy and may reduce expectations for rapid monetary easing. Part of the utilities gain may reflect weather and seasonal factors, so judging underlying demand will require more data.
