Industrial Production in the US grew 0.4% on a monthly basis in March, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) reported on Tuesday. This reading followed the 0.4% increase recorded in February and came in line with the market expectation.
"Manufacturing output increased 0.5% in March, boosted in part by a gain of 3.1% in motor vehicles and parts; factory output excluding motor vehicles and parts moved up 0.3%," the Fed said in its press release. "Capacity utilization moved up to 78.4% in March, a rate that is 1.2 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2023) average."
Market reaction
The US Dollar showed no immediate reaction to this report. At the time of press, the US Dollar Index was up 0.1% on the day at 106.27.
