US factory output edges up in February
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. Other data on Monday showed sentiment among single-family homebuilders nudging up in March. Manufacturing and the housing market have been hardest hit by higher interest rates and President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, with business leaders and builders saying the duties had increased 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.
