Por qué importa
Industry is a smaller share of output than services in most rich economies but it is far more cyclical and reacts first to global demand. Strong production supports growth estimates; capacity utilisation near its limits points to inflation pressure.
Cómo se calcula
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (prices and jobs), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (GDP, income and spending) and the Census Bureau (retail sales, housing, trade) combines physical output and deflated sales data for many industries into a volume index, adjusted for working days and seasons. Capacity utilisation divides output by estimated maximum output.
Change (mom) = index ÷ last month's index − 1
Capacity utilisation = output ÷ capacity × 100Qué significan los cambios
- Monthly changes are noisy (weather, holidays, strikes); compare with the year-on-year rate.
- In Germany, Japan, Korea and China industry carries more weight for the currency.
Mayor de lo esperado: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the US dollar and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Menor de lo esperado: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the US dollar tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Una breve historia
The US Federal Reserve has published its industrial production index since 1919; it is one of the series used to date US business cycles.
