The latest slowdown follows a surge in 2022–2023, driven by the Infrastructure Bill, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

That spending boom led to what strategists describe as an excess of “shells” now being filled with equipment, keeping fixed investment positive despite the pullback in structures.
