Based on: Statistical Pattern
The US manufacturing sector has been under pressure since January 2026 due to Trump tariffs (average 28% on all imports, Peterson Institute). S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI June 2026: 47.9 β seventh consecutive month below 50. ISM Manufacturing PMI June: 48.5. New orders and employment in the sector continue to weaken. The services sector (already open prediction: >52.5) remains clearly expansionary β the classic bifurcation of the US economy in 2026. Without a tariff pause, a jump above 49 within one month is unlikely.
Data basis for this prediction
- S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI Juni 2026: 47,9 Pkt. (S&P Global, 1. Juli 2026)
- ISM Manufacturing PMI USA Juni 2026: 48,5 Pkt. (ISM, 1. Juli 2026)
- US-Durchschnittszoll 2026: ~28% auf alle Importe (Peterson Institute, April 2026)
- 7 Monate Kontraktion US-Manufacturing in Folge (Bloomberg, Juli 2026)

Ford reports Q2 on July 28 (5 PM ET). Consensus: $0.35/share. Ford Pro (commercial vehicles, F-150, Transit) remains the profit engine; US import tariffs benefit domestic manufacturers. Ford raised full-year guidance after Q1 2026 and beat EPS consensus in 3 of last 4 quarters (TIKR). Headwinds: Model e EV segment still burning capital, raw material costs elevated.
