WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The output of the nation's factories, mines and utilities fell 0.6% in November on broad-based weakness across manufacturing industries, the Federal Reserve reported Monday. The production of U.S. factories declined 1.4% in November, despite the resumption of work at Boeing Co. after a strike ended. Mining output rose 2.5% as oil and gas production continued to recover from September's storms. Excluding the rebounds from the strike and the storms, industrial production fell about 1.5% in November, the Fed said. Capacity utilization in industry fell to a five-year low of 75.4% from a revised 76%.
