Key drivers

  • June total industry utilization was flat at 76.1 percent and 3.3 percentage points below its 1972-2025 average
  • manufacturing utilization edged down while mining and utilities rose in June
  • recent monthly TCU changes imply about 0.41 percentage point one-month dispersion
  • capacity growth and modest IP momentum point to little net July movement
  • upside risk from stronger utilities demand or another mining gain
  • downside risk from softer manufacturing output or reversal in mining/utilities

Resolution

source
Federal Reserve G.17 Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization, Table 7
expected
August 18, 2026
rule
Resolve to the first official Federal Reserve G.17 July 2026 value for Table 7 Capacity Utilization, Total industry, seasonally adjusted percent of capacity, as first published on the August 18, 2026 release. Use the first-print value in percent, without later revisions; if only the one-decimal table value is available, use that official rounded value, otherwise use the corresponding first-print TCU value from the official/FRED-ALFRED release binding.
