Summary
US industrial production edged up 0.1% in May, missing the 0.2% forecast, while April was revised up to a stronger 0.9% gain from 0.7%.
Manufacturing output was flat against expectations for a 0.2% increase, signaling softer factory momentum even as overall capacity utilization held at 76.2%, matching forecasts.
Mining output rose 1.3%, helping offset a 0.4% drop in utilities after April's weather-driven 2.2% jump.
The mixed report suggests industrial activity is still uneven, with autos pressured by tariff uncertainty but some support coming from tighter petrochemical markets tied to the war.
