On a yearly basis, industrial production was up 3.6 percent - shy of expectations for a gain of 3.8 percent following the downwardly revised 2.3 percent contraction in the previous month (originally -2.2 percent).

The report also showed that retail sales jumped 1.8 percent on month after slipping a downwardly revised 0.3 percent contraction a month earlier (originally flat).
