Recent economic surveys signaled moderate improvement in manufacturing activity across leading global regions. European producers recorded slight expansion, supported by stable energy costs and better component availability. Asian exporters reported consistent demand from key trade partners, while US manufacturing data reflected gradual firming in new orders. Economists noted that easing supply constraints and falling freight rates contributed to the stabilization trend. 

Analysts cautioned that inflation expectations and geopolitical risks remain influential, though broader momentum appears to be holding in early-cycle indicators.
