UK Manufacturing Loses Steam in June

Share Print 0

British factories grew more slowly than expected in June as export orders rose at the weakest pace in five months, according to a survey on Monday that might disappoint Bank of England officials who favor raising interest rates.

Sterling, which jumped last week on expectations of a BoE shift towards higher borrowing costs, fell after the Markit/CIPS UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index(PMI) slipped to 54.3 from a downwardly revised 56.3 in May, a three-month low.

The reading was below all forecasts in a Reuters poll of economists that had pointed to a reading of 56.5.
