US FACTORY PRODUCTION increased marginally in February as manufacturing remained constrained by tariffs on imports, and the conflict in the Middle East could raise operating costs.

Trump has defended the tariffs, which have been struck down by the US Supreme Court, as necessary to protect domestic manufacturing, though about 100,000 factory jobs have been lost since January 2025.
