In May, US factory output was virtually unchanged from the previous month, ending a four-month streak of growth. This suggests that supply chain disruptions caused by war and soaring costs may be starting to weigh on manufacturing activity.
Total industrial production, including utilities and mining, increased by just 0.1%. Previous surveys showed that customer stockpiling due to the war, increased defense orders, and data center construction had once driven a rebound in manufacturing.
Another report showed that the year-on-year increase in producer prices for May reached its highest level since 2022. Data released on Monday may indicate that the impact of surging costs is starting to show.
There was a divergence between durable goods and nondurable goods manufacturing. Nondurable goods saw a decline, mainly reflecting reductions in the output of petroleum and coal products, plastics and rubber products, and textiles.
Industries related to data center construction continued to grow, including computers and electronic products, electrical equipment, metal products, machinery, and basic metals.
