📉 Uneven Growth Between Tech and Manufacturing Weighs on Market Sentiment
Recent analyses show that manufacturing continues to lag, while the tech sector accelerates, creating a widening growth gap that is increasingly influencing investor psychology. Manufacturing indicators—such as the U.S. manufacturing PMI, which stayed below 50 for much of 2025—signal ongoing contraction and margin pressure across the industrial sector.

$ONDO By contrast, tech remains a high‑growth engine, driven by AI adoption, cloud expansion, and semiconductor investment. Companies in sectors such as biotech, SaaS, and chip manufacturing—like Protagonist Therapeutics, Freshworks, and TSMC—continue to scale rapidly by leveraging AI and navigating global trade realignments more effectively than traditional manufacturers.
$BNB This divergence is shaping sentiment: investors increasingly view tech as the structurally superior growth story while perceiving manufacturing as exposed to inflation, tariffs, and slow demand recovery. The result is a bifurcated market mood, where optimism around digital innovation coexists with caution about the real‑economy slowdown. [ainvest.com]
