UK Manufacturing PMI Cut Again: Final July Reading at 51.9

S&P Global's final UK Manufacturing PMI for July 2026 came in at 51.9, down 0.9 points from the preliminary flash estimate. June saw a similar 0.6-point cut. The sector still posted expansion above 50 for a fifth straight month, but back-to-back downward revisions cast doubt on how reliably early survey data captures the sector's true momentum.
