Japan's private sector activity grew the most in three months in June, underpinned by faster increase in manufacturing output and a renewed upturn in services activity, flash survey data compiled by S&P Global showed Tuesday.
The flash composite output index rose to 52.5 in May from 51.1 in the previous month. A score above 50.0 indicates expansion.
The private sector activity grew for the fifteenth consecutive month and the pace of growth was the best since March.
