Industrial Production rose 4.8% year-on-year in July, missing the forecast for a 5.1% rise. The output had expanded by 4.8% in June. Meanwhile, consumer spending, as represented by Retail Sales, declined by 1.1% versus expectations for a 0.1% growth following June’s 1.8% contraction.
The weaker-than-expected data contradicts the continued economic recovery and easing of deflationary pressures signaled by the producer price index released earlier this month.

The S&P 500 futures are reporting a 0.16% gain. Wall Street registered losses on Thursday deposit the decline in the US weekly jobless claims.
