Capacity Utilization

The capacity utilization rate measures the percent of industrial output currently in use. A change in the rate indicates a change in the direction of economic activity. As the percentage rate moves closer to 90% the industrial output is practically at full capacity and is inflationary. A number closer to 70% is recessionary. A higher percentage indicates a stronger manufacturing sector and an expanding economy which can be inflationary. Bond Market Moves Down in Price.
