U.S. Manufacturing Output Declines in March
U.S. manufacturing output fell by 0.1% in March, marking an unexpected dip after two months of growth, driven by declines in motor vehicle and other goods production. The Federal Reserve reported a 0.5% year-over-year increase in manufacturing output, though the sector faces challenges from rising oil prices due to the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
