Seasonally adjusted industrial production rose 0.6% month over month in August, following a revised 0.1% decline in July. Econoday's consensus estimate was for industrial production to gain 0.2% in August.

Manufacturing output increased 0.5% after dropping 0.4% in the previous month, and mining output rose 1.4% after July's revised 1.5% fall.

Meanwhile, the index for utilities gained 0.6% compared with an upwardly revised 3.7% increase registered in the previous month.
