However, output in July was revised to a decline of 0.1 percent from the previously reported 0.4 percent gain. Industrial production data for August had been heavily impacted by the hurricanes which temporarily shut down oil, gas and chemical plants along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Fed said that the impact of Harvey and, to a lesser extent, Irma, held back production growth in September by 0.25 percentage point.
