US Industrial Output Growth Below Expectations
Total industrial production in the United States rose 0.4 percent in August 2020, missing market consensus of a 1 percent growth. It was the fourth consecutive monthly increase in industrial output, although it remained 7.3 percent below its pre-pandemic February level. Manufacturing production advanced 1 percent, with the gains for most industries having gradually slowed since June. Durable manufacturing rose 0.7 percent, as a decline in the output of motor vehicles and parts was more than offset by broad-based increases for other durable goods industries. Nondurables output rose 1.2 percent, with gains of more than 3 percent for apparel and leather and for plastics and rubber products. By contrast, mining production fell 2.5 percent, as Tropical Storm Marco and Hurricane Laura caused sharp but temporary drops in oil and gas drilling and extraction. The output of utilities moved down 0.4 percent, with small decreases for both electric and gas utilities.
