Texas factory activity increased again in October, according to business executives responding to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey. The production index, a key measure of state manufacturing conditions, fell from 17.6 to 13.7, indicating output grew but at a slightly slower pace than in September.
Other measures of current manufacturing activity also reflected continued growth in October. The new orders index rose notably from 7.5 to 14.2, reaching a six-month high. The capacity utilization index edged down to 18.1 and the shipments index slipped to 12.8, although still more than a quarter of firms noted increases in these measures over September levels.
