Friday's session brought UK Construction PMI figures. The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS UK Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index® (PMI® ) posted 56.0 in May, up sharply from 53.1 in April, to signal the strongest expansion of overall business activity for 17 months. While the headline index signalled robust growth momentum during May, the latest reading was still much weaker than the post-crisis peak seen in January 2014 (64.6).
This week markets will be looking at:
Services PMI (Monday 10:30)
Parliamentary Elections (Thursday)
Industrial Production (Friday 10:30)
