September’s 47.7 is the 4th consecutive rise (from a very poor low point of 38.4 in May) 

  • highest since February 2020

Highlights:

  • slowest fall in new orders since January
  • new export sales fell again in September, at the slowest pace for eight months
  • Employment relatively stable, just under 50

Says Markit:

  • “The most encouraging aspect of the latest survey was
    a sustained rebound in business optimism from the
    low point seen during April. More than twice as many
    manufacturers plan to boost production in the next 12
    months as those that forecast a decline, which pushed
    the survey measure of business expectations to its
    highest since May 2018.”
