‘Sluggish' UK business activity picks up as tariff threat eases
Activity across the UK's private sector has grown this month as some easing of US tariff policy helped lift business sentiment, new survey data shows. The strengthening service industry helped offset a persistent slump in manufacturing in June. The S&P Global flash UK composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) reported a reading of 50.7 in June, up from 50.3 in May. The flash figures are based on preliminary data. Any score above 50.0 indicates that activity is growing while any score below means it is contracting. The volume of new business returned to growth in June, ending a six-month period of contraction, the survey found. This was primarily driven by the service sector – the largest part of the UK's economy, spanning industries including hospitality, entertainment and culture, finance and real estate. A further slight expansion of activity in the sector was contrasted by another drop in production for manufacturers, led by a decline in overseas export orders. Concerns over the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs on US imports were partly behind the slump, despite some businesses saying confidence had improved as a result of the President striking new trade deals with countries including the UK. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the UK economy was in a 'sluggish state' in recent weeks. 'Although business conditions have continued to improve since April's downturn, quelling recession fears, growth of business activity remains disappointingly lacklustre, indicative of second quarter GDP (gross domestic product) rising at only a 0.1% quarterly pace,' he said. 'Business confidence also remains in the doldrums compared to this time last year, losing ground again in June. 'On top of concerns over the impact of recent government policies and worries over global trade protectionism, June's data collection coincided with increased tensions in the Middle East. 'Employment has hence continued to be cut as firms grapple with the combination of higher staffing costs, linked to last autumn's budget, lower demand and subdued confidence.' The survey showed that hiring continued to be squeezed throughout the month, with employment across the private sector decreasing for the ninth month in a row and at a faster pace than May. Businesses surveyed said they had been making cutbacks to their workforce through hiring freezes and redundancies. But Elliott Jordan-Doak, senior UK economist for Pantheon Macroeconomics, pointed out that 'businesses were more optimistic about the future in June than in May, suggesting the economic outlook is improving'. 'Domestic activity is proving more resilient than external demand, consistent with Mr Trump's tariff threats weighing on cross-border trade,' he added. 'All told, the PMI suggests that business confidence is staging a fragile recovery after being battered by tariff threats and tax increases. 'That said, rising geopolitical stress is likely to be added to the growing list of worries facing businesses.' Sign in to access your portfolio

Nothing Headphone 1 leaks show quirky translucent design
While Nothing is gearing up to officially unveil its first over-ear headphones next week, leaked images and videos have given us a good idea of what they look like. The Nothing Headphone 1 sports an unusual design that appears consistently across leaks from multiple sources, featuring a squircle earcup with the company's signature transparent elements and support for what looks like a 3.5mm audio cable. Nothing announced in a video last month that it would be launching over-ear headphones in 'summer 2025,' but remained largely tight-lipped about what to expect. What little was teased — including Nothing's Tom Ridley saying the company was making 'a more interesting looking pair of headphones that say something about you,' and Adam Bates suggesting its buttons would feature distinct designs for each control function — appears to have been realized in these design leaks. Images shared by Nothing_fan_blog on Instagram show that the earcups for the Nothing Headphone 1 resemble a couple of quirky cassette tapes, and true to Bates' word, there appear to be multiple buttons to control the music. The images show the headphones in black or silver colorways, and branding for 'Nothing Headphone 1' and 'Sound by KEF' on either earcup. Videos shared on X by Arsène Lupin also show two people at a private brand event trying out the headphones with what looks like a 3.5mm wired connection. That cable could introduce improved audio performance (compared with Bluetooth) that doesn't require a battery when connected to compatible sources. It won't be long before we get official confirmation about the Headphone 1 design, specs, and price. According to comments made by Nothing CEO Carl Pei at the London SXSW conference, it's set to be announced on July 1st alongside the brand's incoming flagship phone, the Phone 3.
