S&P Global's France manufacturing PMI rose to 51.2 in June from 49.7 in May and above the preliminary 50.7, returning the sector to expansion after a dip below 50 in April–May. S&P Global reported higher unfinished orders and increased work backlogs in June. The PMI prices index fell from May, which could signal easing inflationary pressure in manufacturing and the wider economy. S&P Global Market Intelligence economist Joe Hayes said transport disruptions linked to the Iran war continue to weigh on supply chains, prompting firms to cut purchases and run down inventories; the length of those disruptions could determine the pace of the manufacturing recovery.
