“Global manufacturing is going through a soft patch and the UK is not immune, in part driven by the buildup of global inventories in Q1 on the back of the unexpected contraction of US GDP and port strikes.”
“UK elections provide a wild card which may suggest scope for upside; however, April’s decline was driven by a lack of foreign demand, not domestic uncertainties.”
