UK manufacturing slump persists amidst Red Sea crisis

The UK manufacturing sector's downturn persisted in March, with the S&P Global UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) at 47.5, slightly up from February's 47.0.

According to the report, the sector issues continued through February 2024, as weak demand and the ongoing crisis in the Red Sea compounded challenges, disrupting production and vendor delivery schedules. Manufacturers reported that these disruptions have increased costs as they seek alternative suppliers from more expensive, closer markets.

China’s Factory Activity Slows Again, Highlighting Limits of Government Measures

Fifth straight month of contraction in manufacturing sector comes as top officials gather in Beijing to outline policy priorities for the year ahead

China’s vast manufacturing sector remained in contraction for a fifth consecutive month in February, underscoring the difficulties facing the country’s leadership as it seeks to support a faltering economy, and raising hopes for bolder policy moves when top officials gather for annual legislative meetings next week.

An official gauge of China’s factory activities edged down to 49.1 from January’s 49.2, the country’s National Bureau of Statistics said Friday. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction in activity while a reading above that mark suggests an expansion.
