U.K. economic output continued to rise in May, according to the closely-watched Purchasing Managers' Index from S & P Global, but missed economists' forecasts. The pace of growth slowed as a rebound in manufacturing failed to overcome weakness in services.

Business activity in the country's dominant services industry was at a six-month low, as providers saw the weakest cost pressures for more than three years.
