Summary
PSCI and XLI both climbed more than 1% to all-time highs, a move the report casts as confirmation of a bull market in U.S. manufacturing.
Those gains reflect expectations of stronger output across trucks, tractors, steel, HVAC systems, data centers, power plants and transmission networks, with the market seen as pricing in growth 6 to 12 months ahead.
PSCI tracks smaller industrial manufacturers and has now recovered from a 14% drop over six weeks during the earlier market selloff to set fresh records again.
XLI holds larger industrial names including Caterpillar, Boeing, Deere, RTX and GE Vernova, making the twin breakouts a broad signal on the health of the U.S. economy.
