[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] The UK manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for October recorded 46.2, according to a report released on the 1st (local time) by Markit/CIPS in the UK.



This is a slight increase from the expert forecast of 45.8, but still falls short of the previous figure of 48.4. A manufacturing PMI above 50 indicates that the manufacturing sector is expanding, while a figure below 50 signifies contraction in the sector.
