UK manufacturing PMI lowest since 2013
The UK manufacturing sector started the third quarter on a weaker footing. Levels of production and incoming new orders both contracted, as the impact of increased business uncertainty on the domestic market offset an exchange rate supported increase in new export business. At 48.2 in July, down from 52.4 in June, the seasonally adjusted Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers' Index fell to its lowest level since February 2013.
The reading was also below the earlier flash estimate of 49.1. This is only the second time since early-2013 that the PMI has fell to a sub-50.0 level. The decline in production was the steepest since October 2012, with contractions across the consumer, intermediate and investment goods sectors. The intermediate goods sector saw the sharpest drops in both output and new orders. Investment goods manufacturers also saw a moderate decrease in new work received during July, although this partly reflected some payback from June's marked increase.
There was, a modest increase in new orders to consumer goods producers, albeit at a substantially reduced pace of growth than in the prior survey month.
