UK factories grew at the fastest pace in four years as the industry sought to get ahead of price increases and supply strains triggered by the Middle East conflict, a key survey found. S&P Global said its manufacturing PMI index rose to 53.9 in May, up slightly from 53.7 the previous month. Any reading above 50 signals growth in the sector. The pickup is nonetheless likely to be short-lived given it was largely driven by businesses bringing forward purchases, S&P said. Firms are ordering what they need now to beat expected future price increases and delivery delays. Still, it means the sector has diverged sharply from the rest of the economy since the war in Iran darkened the outlook. Domestic uncertainty may also begin to feed into consumer and business spending decisions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer facing the ongoing threat of a leadership challenge. The growth spurt in factories could help cushion an expected slowdown in the UK economy after a healthy first quarter saw growth pick up to 0.6%. Economists expect quarterly growth to ease to the more pedestrian levels that have dogged Britain in recent years, as households grapple with another spike in living costs caused by the war. There were also signs that inflationary pressures are continuing to build in the pipeline. Average selling prices rose at the fastest pace since July 2022, with the pickup in the inflation rate the second-largest on record. The survey found that costs are rising for a range of products including raw materials, energy and electronics. S&P said supply chains “remained under significant duress” with delivery times lengthening as the Middle Eastern conflict delays shipping in the region.

The company said it will lower the average diesel price charged to distributors by R$0.3515 per liter, or 9.6%, to R$3.30 per liter, effective June 1. Petrobras said the reduction is linked to a federal subsidy program intended to neutralize the reinstatement of the PIS and Cofins fuel taxes, which will also take effect from June 1st. The move marks Petrobras' first diesel price cut since it raised distributor prices to R$3.65 per liter in March and comes just days after the company increased domestic gasoline prices.

Kakao Corp. ’s labor union called for a four-hour strike next week, escalating a dispute with South Korea’s biggest messaging service after negotiations over compensation and job security broke down last month. Unionized workers at Kakao as well as four company affiliates plan to stage a walkout on June 10 in Pangyo, a technology hub south of Seoul, according to a statement from the labor organization. Union officials said the action is intended as an initial warning rather than a full-blown strike. They called it a “partial” strike, acknowledging concerns about disruptions to the KakaoTalk messaging app that most residents rely on daily. The union said it may look to expand the action if future negotiations fail to yield meaningful progress. The dispute mirrors a broader debate now gripping South Korea’s technology sector. Workers are demanding a greater share of earnings from an AI boom that’s benefited hardware firms in particular. Samsung Electronics Co. , South Korea’s largest company, agreed last month to allocate 10.5% of its operating profit as bonus in stock, with a further 1.5% in cash. Kakao workers are protesting a compensation structure they say rewards senior management while rank-and-file employees face uncertainty from asset divestments and spinoffs. The union is demanding stronger job security and a revamped bonus system, arguing that executives receive outsized payouts despite management scandals . Kakao has said in a statement that some of the union’s proposals, such as profit-sharing, creates a burden during a period of intense global competition in AI, and that it will “keep the door open for dialogue until the very end.” The confrontation follows the collapse of a second round of government-mediated wage talks last month. If it goes ahead, the planned strike at Kakao would mark the first large-scale test case for how a consumer AI platform balances employee demands against the growing capital required to stay ahead in the AI era. Kakao is plann...
