UK Prel. Data F'casts: July Markit/IHS Mfg, Cons, Serv Surveys

By Jamie Satchithanantham

     LONDON (MNI) - Find below the preliminary results from the MNI survey

outlining analysts expectations for the Markit/IHS Manufacturing, Construction

and Services Purchasing Managers' Indices due out next week.

     The general picture is one of little change. All three of the PMIs are

expected to come in in-and-around the levels set in June, pointing towards

continued growth, particularly strong in the manufacturing and construction

sectors. 

     The manufacturing PMI is expected to come in unchanged at 54.3 while the

construction PMI is expected to recede a slight 0.3 points to 54.5. 

     Finally, the services PMI, the most eagerly anticipated of the three, is

seen in July virtually unchanged at 53.5.
