 A combination of weak consumer spending and challenging world markets is weighing on UK manufacturing. |
| Although it is too early to say if this month's decline in export demand is the start of a trend, the fall is a further blow for manufacturers at a difficult time. Firms will be hoping this is not the first sign of slow-down in the global economy in the face of the latest oil price increases. |
| Christmas, in retailing terms, is coming later and later each year as consumers play chicken with the high street and delay their spending in the expectation of late price cuts as the big day draws nearer. |
| Conditions for manufacturers are getting increasingly tough as costs continue their seemingly inexorable rise but weak demand keeps prices down, squeezing already thin profit margins even further. |
| Only two of the 10 industry groups surveyed this month - chemicals and metal products - expect prices to rise in their sector over the coming three months. Cost pressures from high oil and transportation prices will only serve to depress profits further, |

| There are emerging signs that the hard-pressed manufacturing sector is improving. |
| There are glimmers of hope on the horizon for manufacturers who have endured a long-lasting downturn. |
| There are glimmers of hope on the horizon for manufacturers who have endured a long-lasting downturn. But at a time when commodity and energy prices continue to rise unabated, UK manufacturing is not out of the woods yet. |
| We are disappointed that the Bank did not take the opportunity to provide some support for the fragile economy. |
| We think there's room for a small cut and look to the Bank to do so if there's no sign of a pick-up in momentum in the economy. |
