U.K. manufacturing data show signs of weakening recovery
Manufacturing in the U.K. fell as pharmaceuticals and metal producers' output decreased, falling short of experts' forecasts. Factory production dropped 0.8% in May, while economists predicted an increase of 0.4%. This data suggests that economic recovery in the U.K. might be weaker than previously expected as industrial output increased only 0.2% in the last 3 months.
