The S&P Global UK Services PMI was revised slightly higher to 52.1 in September 2026 from a flash estimate of 51.7, slightly below August's 52.5. The reading signalled moderate growth in the services sector, with new orders rising only slightly and posting their slowest growth in three months. Geopolitical tensions, tighter consumer budgets and higher borrowing costs weighed on demand, although resilient technology services demand remained a bright spot and client risk aversion eased. Employment continued to fall, marking two years of job cuts, although the decline eased to its slowest pace since October 2025. Meanwhile, input-cost inflation accelerated to its fastest pace since June, reflecting higher fuel prices and payroll costs. This led to the sharpest increase in prices charged since May. Looking ahead, firms remained optimistic, but confidence eased from August’s six-month high amid economic uncertainty, Middle East worries and weak real estate and construction demand. source: S&P Global
