    UK Manufacturing PMI climbs to ten month high in August

    UK Manufacturing PMI posts 53.3 in August

    Trends in production and new orders post solid

    Weaker sterling currency drives up export orders and input costs
    Wasn't this the same indicator used by sascretinguru to proclaim the start of Brexit doom? Seems to have a crisis following the same logic from one day to the next.

    That is just what the Toyota salesman said when talking to his brother, the eco-shed salesman.

    I wouldn't even if it was 10% less.

    Parts become more expensive to import to the UK. However the cost of manufacturing remains the same, as does our profit margin. In that case it makes more sense to build in the UK and sell in the UK than to move production outside the uk and then export inwards.

    And no, I wouldn't buy squashed kite either.

    It would be equally nice if we had the spare capacity to cope with any increase in demand and the extra demand resulted in investment rather than employing a few more low paid staff...

    Some how I doubt it.

    We will "roar ahead" until the weight of the two deficits becomes too heavy for foreigners to fund.

    HTH! BIKIW.

    I simply make a point of highlighting every negative comment you make about the UK (which is all you do). As the sad pathetic little loser you are there is no issue or event that cannot be turned into feeding your negative narrative about the UK even if it means contradicting previous posts. I accept that in many cases you may have a point however such is your weary obsession with denigrating Britain that any point you may have is likely to be lost.

    Read your original post and work out what was subjective and what was fact.

    Isn't there a ContractorDE website you can post your loathing on? At least you would be among friends there.

Actually this report is tosh, it is not quantitative and when you read that 35% of retailers said that volumes were up in “August” and 26% said that volumes were down (ie a percentage balance of 9%), please remember that only 58 retailers took part…and that the survey was conducted between July 27th and August 12. Pretty good eh? Now what about the important areas where Britain makes it's money: services, construction and manufacturing which were all down. Is the UK going to try and buy it's way out of a recession but then how are people going to pay off of all their debts when their business is not making any money? Difficult one to balance there...
