Employment returned to growth, but input cost inflation hit its highest level since June. The bank judges the release leans hawkish for the BoE ahead its November meeting, despite some supply‑chain distortions.

"In the UK, the flash PMIs strengthened in October, with both services and manufacturing picking up. The composite rose to 53.1 from 52.0 as services increased to 53.1 from 52.1 and manufacturing edged up to 52.8 from 51.9."
