US industrial production data for January was released today at 2:15 pm GMT. Report was expected to show an increase in industrial production as well as flat manufacturing production. Capacity utilization was expected to improve slightly compared to a month ago. 

Actual report turned out to be a disappointment, just as was the case with retail sales data earlier today. Industrial and manufacturing production dropped compared to a month ago, while capacity utilization deteriorated instead of improving.

US industrial production report for January

  • Industrial production (monthly): -0.1% MoM vs +0.3% MoM expected (+0.1% MoM previously)
  • Industrial production (annual):  vs +1.0% previously
  • Manufacturing production (monthly): -0.5% MoM vs 0.0% MoM expected (+0.1% MoM previously)
  • Capacity utilization: 78.5% vs 78.8% expected (78.6% previously)

USD weakened following industrial production print. However, EURUSD continues to trade below highs reached following release of disappointing retail sales data.
