Industrial Production + Manufacturing + Capacity Utilization During October 2019
The Industrial Production, Manufacturing and Capacity Utilization numbers for October 2019 were released by the Federal Reserve this morning:
Industrial Production:
Predicted: -0.4%
Actual: -0.8%
Manufacturing:
Predicted: -0.5%
Actual: -0.6%
The yellow-highlighted percentages represent the month-to-month change in manufacturing, and physical output from mining operations, utility plants and factories for the entire United States.
Capacity Utilization Rate:
Predicted: 77.2%
Actual: 76.7%
The Capacity Utilization Rate represents the use of available resources at mining operations, utility plants and factories for the entire United States last month.
The "predicted" figures are what economists were expecting, while the "actual" is the true or real figure.

From today's report:
"...Industrial production fell 0.8 percent in October after declining 0.3 percent in September. Manufacturing production decreased 0.6 percent in October. Much of this decline was due to a drop of 7.1 percent in the output of motor vehicles and parts that resulted from a strike at a major manufacturer of motor vehicles. The decreases for total industrial production, manufacturing, and motor vehicles and parts were their largest since May 2018, April 2019, and January 2019, respectively.
Excluding motor vehicles and parts, the index for total industrial production moved down 0.5 percent, and the index for manufacturing edged down 0.1 percent. Mining production decreased 0.7 percent, while utilities output fell 2.6 percent.
At 108.7 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production was 1.1 percent lower in October than it was a year earlier. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.8 percentage point in October to 76.7 percent, a rate that is 3.1 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2018) average..."
