The US dollar hardly reacted to the data. Again, that's a good sign that the bid in USD is solid.
Looking at the details, the fall in utilities is a negative but on the y/y side. The report highlights how much automotive manufacturing has picked up but overall manufacturing and machinery is soft (although maybe not as soft as expected given the strong US dollar).
