英国制造业7月延续增长势头，已连续第四个月扩张，增速创近两年最快水平[1]。虽然7月采购经理人指数（PMI）从6月的52.5降至51.9[1]，但新订单连续第八个月保持增长[1]，出口需求来自美国、加拿大、欧盟、中国、印度和韩国等多个主要市场[1]。S&P Global研究主管Rob Dobson表示，"7月为英国制造业带来了进一步的鼓舞"[1]。供应链混乱局面也在缓解[1]。
就业方面，制造业岗位增长连续第四个月上升，但增速已放缓至接近停滞[1]。业界仍面临中东冲突升级和能源价格上升的风险[1]。
UK manufacturing expanded for a fourth consecutive month in July, marking the strongest growth rate in nearly two years [1]. The Purchasing Managers' Index, however, declined to 51.9 from 52.5 in June [1]. New orders continued their upward trajectory for an eighth consecutive month, with export demand originating from the United States, Canada, the European Union, China, India, and South Korea [1].
Employment growth showed signs of deceleration, rising for a fourth consecutive month but at a pace approaching stagnation [1]. Supply chain disruptions, which had previously constrained production, began to ease during the period [1]. According to Rob Dobson, director at S&P Global, "July brought further encouragement for the UK manufacturing sector" [1]. Middle East tensions and rising energy prices remain significant risk factors for the sector's continued recovery [1].
