The latest ISM manufacturing data shows slight improvement over last month, with the headline index rising above 50.7. New orders (47.2 vs 45.2) and employment (46.5 vs 44.7) both improved, though still in contraction. Prices paid remained high at 69.8, just below expectations. The data suggests early signs of stabilization, possibly driven by tariff-related shifts in demand, as also noted by S&P Global report.
