Key drivers

  • IP has alternated sign almost every month recently (Dec +0.48, Jan -0.05, Feb +0.62, Mar -0.29, Apr +0.68), so an April-up suggests a flat-to-soft May.
  • Trailing 24-month average MoM is only +0.09%, consistent with a roughly flat manufacturing trend.
  • Utilities output (weather-sensitive) and mining swings add noise around the manufacturing core.
  • Manufacturing PMI/new-orders momentum sets the underlying drift.
  • Motor-vehicle assemblies are a recurring single-month swing factor.
