The actual figure of 53.9 surpassed the analyst estimate of 53.6, suggesting a marginally stronger economic performance than anticipated. This unexpected resilience may provide a short-term boost to market sentiment, particularly benefiting sectors sensitive to economic cycles, such as industrials and consumer discretionary stocks.
