The manufacturing index increased significantly to above 50, normally indicating expansion in the sector, but Kevin believes this reflects shorter-term factors, including anticipation of greater consumer spending ahead of tax cuts. US labour data continues to soften as businesses may be holding back on creating new jobs due to policy uncertainty and AI adoption. You can listen to the podcast [here].<br />
