The U.S. central bank’s measure of the industrial sector is comprised of manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. Output in the mining sector registered a 2 percent gain as oil and gas extraction “returned to normal levels” after the impact of Hurricane Nate in October, the Fed said. The manufacturing sector, which makes up about 12 percent of the nation’s economy, rose 0.2 percent last month following an upwardly revised 1.4 percent gain in October.
US Industrial Production increased by 0.2%
U.S. industrial production rose less than expected in November as a drop in utilities output offset a post-hurricane rebound in the oil and gas industries and the third consecutive monthly advance for manufacturing, the Federal Reserve said on Friday. Overall industrial output rose 0.2 percent following an upwardly revised 1.2 percent gain in October. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast industrial output rising 0.3 percent last month.
