The S&P Global France Manufacturing PMI was revised slightly up to 49.5 in October 2026 from 49.3 in the preliminary estimate but remained below September's 50.6. The data pointed to a renewed contraction in the country's manufacturing activity, following two consecutive months of expansion, marking the steepest decline since July last year. New orders fell at the fastest pace since July 2025 and output shrank for the first time in three months, which prompted firms to reduce purchasing activity and employment. Firms also faced deteriorating supply conditions, with delivery times increasing significantly, alongside mounting cost pressures. Rising costs of raw materials, energy and other inputs pushed input price inflation to a four-month high, leading firms to raise selling prices at the fastest pace since May. source: S&P Global
