Industrial production in the US dropped 0.3 percent from a month earlier in December 2019, following a downwardly revised 0.8 percent growth in November and compared to market expectations of a smaller 0.2 percent decline. Utilities output tumbled 5.6 percent, due to a large decrease in demand for heating, as unseasonably warm weather in December followed unseasonably cold weather in November. On the other hand, mining rose 1.3 percent, with most of the gain from oil and gas extraction, and manufacturing increased 0.2 percent. Nondurables production moved up 0.6 percent, led by increases for petroleum and coal products (1.6 percent) and for food, beverage, and tobacco products (1.3 percent). Durable goods manufacturing however slipped 0.2 percent, as the decrease for motor vehicles (-4.6 percent) outweighed widespread increases in other industries, such as nonmetallic mineral products (2.3 percent).

US Industrial Output Rebounds as GM Strike Ends
Industrial production in the US increased 1.1 percent month-over-month in November of 2019, following an upwardly revised 0.9 percent fall in October and beating market expectations of a 0.8 percent rise. It is the biggest jump in industrial output since October of 2017, due to a bounce back in the output of motor vehicles and parts following the end of a strike at General Motors. The 40-day strike was the longest for auto workers in 50 years and involved more than 48,000 people. It ended with a new four-year contract between the company and the United Auto Workers union in which some small pay rises and factory investments were included.
