Other economic reports out last week showed core consumer price (+0.2%) and producer price (+0.3) inflation were largely in line with expectations in January, although December retail rales (down 1.2% month-on-month) were unexpectedly soft, according to Census Bureau figures. The Federal Reserve’s report on U.S. industrial production last week was also something of a disappointment as manufacturing production reportedly declined 0.9% in January, dragging industrial 0.6% lower for the month despite modest gains in utilities (+0.4%) and mining output (+0.1%). According to Briefing.com, “The key takeaway from the report is that it will feed into concerns about a slowing U.S. economy. Manufacturing production fell 0.9% due to the downturn in motor vehicle assemblies, but excluding that factor, manufacturing production was still down 0.2% with decreases logged for most other major durable goods industries.”
