- Industrial Production in the US contracted unexpectedly in August.
- US Dollar Index stays near the lower limit of its daily range.
The data published by the US Federal Reserve showed on Thursday that Industrial Production contracted by 0.2% on a monthly basis in August. This print came in worse than the market expectation for an expansion of 0.2%. In the same period, Manufacturing Production increased by 0.1% following July’s growth of 0.6%.
“Capacity utilization declined 0.2 percentage points in August to 80.0%, a rate that is 0.4 percentage points above its long-run (1972–2021) average,” the Fed further noted in its publication.
The US Dollar Index showed no immediate reaction to these figures and was last seen posting small daily losses at 109.58.
