FX.co ★ Malaysia Manufacturing PMI Rises to 6-Month High

Malaysia’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI rose to 51.0 in October 2026 from 49.9 in September, when the sector recorded its first contraction in four months. This reading signalled the strongest expansion in factory activity since April, driven by a return to growth in both output and new orders. New orders increased solidly, supported by a further strengthening in overseas demand.
