The Federal Reserve reported on Tuesday the U.S. industrial production rose 1.1 percent m-o-m in October, following a revised 0.4 percent m-o-m drop in September (originally a 0.6 percent m-o-m decline).

Economists had forecast industrial production would increase by 1.0 percent m-o-m in October.

According to the report, manufacturing output increased 1.0 percent m-o-m in October and the output of utilities rose 3.9 percent m-o-m. Meanwhile, mining production fell 0.6 percent m-o-m.
