US industrial production reading for April was released today at 2:15 pm BST. Report was expected to show 0.0% MoM in APril - neither growth, nor decline from previous month. Actual data turned out to be much better-than-expected with industrial production coming in at 0.5% MoM. Manufacturing production data also turned out to be a beat while capacity utilization matched estimates.

  • Industrial production: 0.5% MoM vs 0.0% MoM expected (+0.4% MoM previously)
  • Manufacturing production: 1.0% MoM vs 0.1% MoM expected (-0.8% MoM previously)
