The UK manufacturing sector’s downturn eased somewhat in May, recording a three-month high and prompting talks that industry may have turned a corner.
According to these latest figures released by S&P Global, the seasonally adjusted UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was 46.4 in May, a slight increase on April’s 45.4 and above the earlier flash estimate of 45.1. Nevertheless, the sector has now remained below the neutral 50.0 mark for the eighth straight month.
