Britain’s manufacturing PMI rose to 52.8 in October from 51.9, Reuters reports, confirming the flash estimate. The output index reached 53.6, its highest since September 2024, as domestic and overseas demand improved. The recovery has a cost: input prices rose at their fastest pace since June, and employment growth stopped. The survey predates the budget, so it does not measure businesses’ response to the new fiscal measures.
