U.S. industrial output falls in fourth quarter — down 1% on year-over-year basis
The numbers: Industrial production fell 0.3% in December, the third decline in the past four months, the Federal Reserve reported Friday.
What happened: Manufacturing output rose 0.2% in December, but was down at a 1% rate for the fourth quarter. The gain in December came despite a 4.6% drop for output of motor vehicles and parts. Assemblies of cars fell to 10.3 million units in December from 11.2 million in the prior month. There have been reports that automakers are planning to reduce production in 2020 in face of projections of slower sales.
Big picture: The manufacturing sector hurt by the decline in global trade, trade tariffs with China and Boeing Co.’s problems with the 737 MAX airplane
