Latest data released by Markit - 1 October 2018
Preliminary figures can be found here. Slight dip in the final reading and that's the lowest print in two years. Meanwhile, output print came in at 52.7 for September - compared to 54.7 in August - and that's the lowest reading for manufacturing output in 28 months. Export orders had a print of 50.2 in September and that's a five-year low. Not pretty details to say the least.
The euro has rebounded a little against the dollar and the yen in the last half hour as the pound also gained some traction on the day. EUR/USD now sits close to the 1.1600 handle while EUR/JPY is near session highs at 132.25.
