US industrial production data jumps sharply in August
US industrial production surged in August as motor vehicle manufacturing bounced back after plummeting in July, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday, shortly before kicking off a two-day meeting on interest rates.
Total industrial output exceeded expectations to rise by 0.8 percent last month from a revised 0.9 decline in July, the US central bank said in a statement, pinning much of the rise on «a recovery in the index of motor vehicles and parts.»
The index «jumped nearly 10 percent in August after dropping roughly 9 percent in July,» it added. The July data was affected by the larger-than-expected impact of Hurricane Beryl.
The sharp monthly rise in industrial production in August was well above market expectations of a 0.1 percent rise, according to Briefing.com.
The news is likely to soothe concerns about the sector, shortly before the Fed kicks off its two-day interest rate meeting later Tuesday which is widely expected to end with a rate cut.
