Update (0950ET): Ok, you can't make this up but both Industrial Production and Manufacturing Output bothtumbled on a non-seasonally-adjusted basis...
Industrial Production rose 0.3% MoM (SA)... but plunged 1.7% MoM (NSA)
Manufacturing Output rose 0.35% MoM (SA)... but tumbled 0.5% MoM (NSA)
Seasonals are indeed saving Bidenomics... for now.

US industrial production unexpectedly jumped by 0.3% MoM in September (0.0% exp) as capacity utilization picked up modestly (from 79.5% to 79.7%). This is the 3rd straight month of increased industrial production (and IP remains marginally higher on YoY basis)...

Utilities slid 0.3% MoM in Sept after rising 0.7% MoM in Aug.
On the manufacturing specific sector, production rose 0.4% MoM (better than the 0.0% exp).
Manufacturing production, however, remains lower on a YoY basis for the seventh straight month.
Once again, seasonal-adjustments saved the day as Manufacturing output fell 0.5% NSA (+0.4% SA)...

Seasonals saved Bidenomics...
One thing of note - ahead of the UAW strikes - is that Business Light Vehicles-Autos production plunged 6.2% MoM in September (after a big jump in August)...
Presumably this will be an utter shitshow next month as the factory closures hit.
