Economists expect industrial production climbed 0.2% month over month, better than the month prior's 0.3% dip.
"A rebound in auto output is expected to drive IP into shallow positive territory following last month's 0.3% decline," wrote Credit Suisse economists. "Factory hours worked also dropped by less in February (-0.2%) than in January (-0.7%), so it's possible weather effects will be sequentially less of a factor this month. Weekly utility output figures point to a decline following the January spike."
