The desk views the emerging revival in US manufacturing as a critical driver for a stronger USD outlook, buoyed by shifts in production dynamics despite challenges posed by tariffs and energy prices. Per the full note from ING, the ISM production index indicates a significant rebound into growth territory, transitioning from a contractionary phase of below 50 to a robust sign of expansion. This resurgence in manufacturing ties closely to trends such as reshoring, advances in technology, and increased defense spending, suggesting a potential paradigm shift in industrial strategy. Key industry players like **JPMorgan** highlight this recovery, framing it within a supportive environment for the dollar against the backdrop of widening trade flows and investment inflows into the manufacturing sector.
