Industrial Production
The Federal Reserve's Industrial Production index tracks the real output of the US goods-producing economy — manufacturing (~75%), mining (~15%), and utilities (~10%) — indexed to a base year. Released mid-month, it is highly sensitive to the business cycle and often turns ahead of GDP.
Latest reading
As of June 2026, Industrial Production (Industrial production index (2017=100)) stands at 102.6 — up from 102.6 the prior reading. Focus on the year-over-year rate and sustained trends rather than single-month moves, which can be noisy. Positive and accelerating growth marks expansion; a slide into negative territory has accompanied every industrial recession. It generally moves in step with manufacturing surveys like the ISM, and divergences from those surveys are worth a second look. Series history runs from 1919 to present.
