How this service works
Fed measure of output from manufacturing, mining, and utilities as a percentage of capacity. Below 80% signals slack; above 85% signals potential inflation pressure. Use for industrial cycle analysis, capacity investment timing, and inflation risk assessment. Monthly frequency.
Output
Returns an array of monthly observations, each containing the raw capacity utilization rate (%), month-over-month and year-over-year absolute and percentage changes, trailing z-scores (12-month and 5-year), a percentile rank over the trailing 5 years, 3-month and 12-month rolling averages, and an above-trend binary flag. Output is either JSON or compact toon format.
Example use cases
Inflation risk assessment for macro portfolio
“Get me the last 12 months of US capacity utilization data from StationFX, including z-scores and year-over-year changes, so I can assess whether industrial tightness is likely to fuel inflation pressure in the next quarter.”
Industrial cycle timing for capital investment
“Show me the capacity utilization trend over the past 3 years — I want to see the rolling 12-month average and the above-trend flag so I can judge where we are in the industrial cycle before recommending a capex budget.”
Fed policy briefing data pull
“Fetch the most recent capacity utilization reading along with its 5-year percentile rank and z-score — I need to know if we're in the zone above 85% that typically signals the Fed should be concerned about inflation.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://stationfx.com/economic-data/industrial/capacity-utilization-total-index?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need the official Federal Reserve capacity utilization series with pre-computed derivative statistics (MoM, YoY, z-scores, percentile ranks, trend flags) in a single call. Prefer it over raw FRED data when you need enriched analytics ready for agent reasoning without additional computation. Ideal for inflation risk monitoring, industrial cycle analysis, or Fed policy context where the 80%/85% threshold semantics matter.
Side effects
- Invalid date range returns empty data array or 400 error
- Unsupported fmt parameter value returns validation error
- Date range with no observations (future dates or pre-series dates) returns empty array
- Network or payment failure returns 402 or 5xx status
- Misspelled fields parameter silently omits requested metrics
