  • The Manufacturing PMI dropped from 51.5 to 50.3, the lowest since April.
  • The Service PMI decreased to 51.8, its weakest level in eleven months.
  • Composite PMI fell from 52.6 to 51.7, but all indices remain above contraction levels.

Market Response and Predictions

  • Despite initial pressure from PMI releases, GBPUSD has recovered to 1.2980.
  • A potential correction could see GBPUSD reach up to 1.3030 or even 1.31.
  • However, the broader economic outlook suggests caution, favoring selling on growth instead of buying on dips.
