Economists polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for a stronger reading of 48.9. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Financial Times (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/75740096-fcb0-11e9-98fd-4d6c20050229\" target=\"_blank\">Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brexit uncertainty hits UK manufacturing sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Britain\u2019s factories suffered a sixth consecutive month of falling new orders in October as&nbsp;ongoing Brexit uncertainty&nbsp;hit demand from domestic customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the pace of decline in activity across the sector eased for a second month. The IHS Markit purchasing managers\u2019 index picked up to 49.6 in October, from&nbsp;48.3 in September, where a number below 50 signals contraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"The Guardian (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2019\/nov\/01\/brexit-uncertainty-hits-manufacturing-sector\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Dec 12 Election means for UK manufacturers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As MPs vote to hold a general election on 12 December, what will the outcome mean for UK manufacturing?
