2026.07.0308:30:00UTC+00UK S&P Global Composite PMI Slips Further Into Contraction in June

The United Kingdom’s private sector activity weakened slightly in June, as the S&P Global Composite PMI edged down to 49.3 from 49.7 previously, signaling a deeper move into contraction territory. A reading below 50 indicates a decline in overall business activity.

Both the previous and current readings relate to June 2026, with the latest data confirming that momentum in the UK’s combined manufacturing and services sectors has softened. The marginal drop suggests that the economy is facing increased headwinds, with output shrinking rather than expanding.

The updated figures, released on 3 July 2026, will likely reinforce concerns about the durability of the UK’s growth outlook, as persistent sub-50 PMI readings can point to mounting pressure on employment, investment, and corporate earnings in the months ahead.
