US Manufacturing Production Rises Less than Expected
Manufacturing output in the US edged higher by 0.2% from the previous month in November of 2024, trimming the revised 0.7% plunge from October but well below market expectations of a sharper 0.5% increase. Manufacturing was supported by the production of durable goods (3.5% from October) and machinery (2.1%). In turn, output of aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment fell by 2.6% as declines in the manufacturing of aircraft parts offset the resumption of work for Boeing. Also, output fell for apparel and leather (-2.1%), petroleum and coal products (1.6%), and paper (1.3%). On an annual basis, manufacturing output fell 1%.
2024-12-17
US Manufacturing Output Falls Further
Manufacturing output in the US fell by 0.5% in October 2024, following a 0.3% decrease in September, matching expectations. Durable goods production dropped 1.2%, with notable declines across several sectors. Aerospace and miscellaneous transportation equipment fell 5.8%, and industries like primary metals, motor vehicles and parts, and furniture saw drops of 1% or more. However, production of nondurable goods slightly increased, thanks to gains in chemicals, paper, and petroleum products, which outweighed declines in textiles, apparel, printing, and plastics. Capacity utilization in manufacturing fell to 76.2%, 2.1 points below its long-term average. Compared to a year ago, manufacturing output declined by 0.3%.
