"The US Flash manufacturing PMI came in a tad stronger than expected, with strong details (new orders, new export orders, output and backlog of orders up, and some evidence of inventory build in intermediate goods ahead of tariffs). It suggests manufacturing growth will remain elevated over the coming months.
