UK Manufacturing PMI Revised Down to 51.9 for July, Second Straight Sharp Cut From Flash Estimate

S&P Global's final UK Manufacturing PMI for July 2026 landed at 51.9, 0.9 points below the flash estimate of 52.8. June saw a similar 0.6-point downward revision. The reading still extends a five-month expansion streak above 50, but two consecutive sizable cuts raise questions about the reliability of preliminary survey data for gauging the sector's momentum.
