(Alliance News) – The UK private sector fell further into decline in September, preliminary figures on Friday showed.
The latest S&P Global/CIPS flash composite purchasing managers’ index fell to 48.4 points in September, from August’s final figure of 49.6. The PMI fell further below the 50.0 neutral mark, suggesting the decline deepened in September.
“Though modest, the rate of contraction was the quickest seen since January 2021, with businesses often commenting on the negative impacts of high costs and a weaker economic outlook on client spending and output,” S&P Global said.
“Employment remained a bright spot, which continued to rise strongly overall in September, despite the rate of job creation being unchanged from August’s 17-month low. However, signs of spare capacity became increasingly apparent, with backlogs of work falling at a quicker pace.”
The flash services PMI fell to a 20-month low of 49.2 points in September from 50.9 in August.
The flash manufacturing PMI hit a two-month high but remained in negative territory. The flash PMI rose to 48.5 in September, from 47.3 in August.
Input and output cost inflation calmed but remained “steep”, S&P Global.
The S&P Global survey is sent to a panel of 650 manufacturing and services firms, with results collected in the second half of the month. Final manufacturing survey results will be published on October 3, before the composite and services readings two days later.

The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is assigned based on an analyst’s estimate of a stocks fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock’s fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price; a 1-star stock isn’t. If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. Investments in securities are subject to market and other risks. Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.
