USA: Private Sector Activity Rises Faster.

The S&P Global US Composite PMI rose to 52.2 in June of 2026 from 51.5 in the previous month, reflecting the sharpest pace of growth in the US private economic activity since January, according to a preliminary estimate. The expansion was supported by the largest growth in the manufacturing output in six years (57.7 vs 56.6 in May) and a sharper increase in services activity (51.3 vs 50.7). Total new orders grew, with those for services likely supported by the start of the Fifa World Cup, and manufacturing orders remaining attributable to clients front-running contracts before the war in the Middle East causes further supply disruptions. This was aligned with larger magnitude of supply chain delays in the period, driving prices to continue increasing at last month's pace. In turn, employment fell for a second month as companies attempted to cut costs. Looking ahead, firms' confidence was recorded at the highest since February.
