U.K. manufacturing activity deteriorated at the fastest pace in seventeen months as the decline in output and new orders accelerated, according to final survey results from S&P Global. The final manufacturing PMI dropped to a 17-month low of 44.9 in March from 46.9 in February. The reading was marginally above the flash score of 44.6. A score below 50.0 suggests contraction. Operating conditions have deteriorated in each of the past six months. Manufacturing production declined for the fifth month and at the quickest pace since October 2023. The downturn was widespread, with contractions signaled across all sub-sector definitions and all size categories. New order intakes fell to the greatest extent for over one-and-a-half years and at one of the quickest rates since the pandemic's lockdown-affected months of 2020. British manufacturers faced a challenging trade climate due to escalating geopolitical tensions, low customer confidence, and a slump in the economy in both home and foreign markets.
New export business contracted at the fastest pace since August 2023 amid lower intakes of new export work, which were mainly linked to weaker demand from the U.S . and Europe. In March, U.K. manufacturers continued to exercise extreme caution, which resulted in reductions in hiring, stock holdings, and purchase activities. On the price front, input price inflation eased slightly from February's 25-month high, while selling prices rose at the quickest pace since April 2023. 04/01/2025 - 09:49:00 (RTTNews)

Core inflation which excludes prices of food, alcohol, and tobacco, slowed to 2.4 percent from 2.6 percent the previous month. Inflation was expected to slow marginally to 2.5 percent. Data showed that growth in food prices increased to 2.9 percent from 2.7 percent. Meanwhile, prices of energy fell 0.7 percent, reversing February's 0.2 percent gain. Services costs rose slower pace of 3.4 percent after a 3.7 percent increase. At the same time, growth in non-energy industrial goods prices held steady at 0.6 percent. Monthly, the HICP logged an increase of 0.6 percent in March. Final data is due on April 16. 04/01/2025 - 05:14:00 (RTTNews)
Australian Dollar traded at 0.6279 against USD at 9:00 AM PST.
The Reserve Bank of Australia left its benchmark rate unchanged, as widely expected, but cautioned about pronounced geopolitical uncertainties. The policy board of the RBA, governed by Michele Bullock, decided to maintain the cash rate target at 4.10 percent. In February, the bank had reduced the rate by 25 basis points, which was the first cut since 2020. The interest rate paid on Exchange Settlement balances was also retained at 4 percent today. The board reiterated that it is resolute in its determination to return inflation to target and will do what is necessary to achieve that outcome. Policymakers cautioned that geopolitical uncertainties are pronounced. These developments may hurt global activity, particularly if households and firms delay expenditures. Capital Economics economist Marcel Thieliant said the Bank's communication on balance suggests that it won't be long before the Bank will ease policy further. The economist expects the RBA to deliver another 25-basis point reduction at the next meeting in May. However, the easing cycle will be shallower than most anticipate despite the bank becoming increasingly confident that inflation will sustainably return to the target. 04/01/2025 - 04:29:00 (RTTNews)
