Total industrial production excluding energy notched growth of 1.4% in July over the prior month in seasonally- and calendar-adjusted terms, contrasting June’s revised contraction of 1.0% (previously reported: -1.1% month-on-month). The improvement was due to improvements in both mining and quarrying, and manufacturing output.
