The read

Manufacturing (RSHO) has just turned the corner. Over the longer, time-shifted window it trailed the S&P 500 by 0.2 points, but over the past month it has moved clearly ahead of the market — a 2.8-point edge that puts it in the improving quadrant. Ranked by one-month spread, it currently stands #19 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks.

On the shorter tape, RSHO's momentum reads strong: the recent hourly trend is positive across every lookback Zensei measures. RSHO's relative-strength line — its price ratio against the S&P 500 — is trading above its moving averages, the healthiest configuration we track. The two signals agree — the short-term tape and the longer trend point the same way.

The exposure comes via Tema American Reshoring ETF, whose 25 tracked holdings are led by THE TIMKEN CO, COGNEX CORP and CATERPILLAR INC. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 46.3× earnings and 4.8× sales. The thing to watch from here is confirmation: improving groups that hold a positive one-month spread long enough for the longer window to turn are the classic early-rotation entries — the ones that fail fall back quickly.
