BREAKING: USD ticks lower after industrial production miss

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.
