Capacity Utilization, Industrial Production Come In Line With Expectations, Prior Revised Lower

Tyler Durden's picture




 

August Industrial Production came in at 0.2%, in line with expectations, while the prior print of 1.0% was revised lower to 0.6%. Capacity Utilization missed consensus sllightly, coming in at 74.7% on consensus of 75%, with the previous reading also revised lower from 74.8% to 74.6%. Overall, no pick up in the economy can be traced across these two metrics, meaning the double dip continues.

Wonder if QE will be back on the table quicker...a revision to the previous revision by Morgan Stanley?

In reality, lowering the prior and then meeting expectations is missing expectations, since you are starting from a lower point.

Not that it matters.

exactly right. The growth is in line, but vs. a lower previous level, hence the current month's level surely is lower than expected. Not that it matters :-)

In a real market an obvious case of fraud and manipulation of the numbers- as shown by the moving average that continues worse despite the miracle of "better" numbers each period- would be cause for alarm and instant discounting of the fudge fraud factor.   When is this thing that seems to be able to stay irrational for eons of time going to start to resemble a market? Oh I forgot we don't have a market, we have a criminal con job meant to look like a market.

Look at it this way, elections are coming up, 3rd Q numbers will likely suck but not terrible so why not get some altitude in the indexes so the 10k number holds on the Dow and 1040 on the S&P.

Then the pols can say, 'what? the economy is doin' great just look at Wall Street!'.

Not that there is much more than one iota of correlation there but that's what they'll say ... and the ADHD electorate will go along with it.

Empire State Manuf index disappointed this morn, but futures rose. Also a story about real estate prices resuming their decline following the wasted taxpayer dollars on rebates.

Odd, Bloomberg had the exact opposite interpretation stating that this clearly shows there will be no double dip...

Guy on Bloomberg radio was interesting - tracks diesel fuel consumption at 4000 truck stops all across US said things haven't budged upward since May. I think the phrase will be "Unhappy Holidays" this retail season.
