Despite showing a 4.1% drop in production from October 2020, the result surprised analysts. Monthly, the shipments and inventories indexes grew by 2.4% and 0.6%, respectively, while the inventory rate contracted by 0.6%. It is good to see industrial production rising after 3 months of increasing declines. There is still a long way to go to get back to June 2021\u2019s 6.5% increase and the positives are that since March 2020, 10 out of the previous 20 months have been positive.
