US industrial production up 4th month in row: Fed

Washington, May 17 (UNI/Sputnik) US industrial production grew for a fourth month in a row in April, demonstrating resilience in the underlying engine of the economy despite inflation at 40-year highs, data from the Federal Reserve showed Tuesday.
"In April, total industrial production increased 1.1 per cent—the fourth consecutive month of gains of 0.8 per cent or greater," the central bank said in a statement as it published the so-called Industrial Production Index.
The IPI measures levels of production and capacity in the manufacturing, mining, electric, and gas industries, relative to a base year. The Federal Reserve publishes the data in the middle of every month, and revisions to previous estimates at the end of the month.
