Will May 2026 U.S. capacity utilization be at least 77.0%?

This market resolves YES if the initial Federal Reserve G.17 Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization release for May 2026 reports that U.S. total industry capacity utilization was at least 77.0%. Use the capacity utilization rate for total industry from the initial May 2026 G.17 release, scheduled for June 15, 2026. A published value of 77.0% or higher resolves YES. 76.9% or lower resolves NO. If the release is delayed, wait for the initial Federal Reserve release. Do not use industrial production monthly growth, manufacturing output, manufacturing-only capacity utilization, mining/utilities subindexes, year-over-year figures, annual-revision tables, or later revisions. If Federal Reserve tables show a value rounded to one decimal place, use that rounded published value. Source context at creation: the Federal Reserve release-date page lists the June 2026 G.17 release date as 15-June-2026, and the April 2026 G.17 release reported capacity utilization at 76.1%.
