According to the report, the seasonally adjusted S&P Global India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 56.4 in July from 53.9 in June. The upturn was broad-based by sub-sector, and led by investment goods.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields fell on Friday after data showed the economy contracted again in the second quarter, suggesting that the Federal Reserve may not need to be so aggressive to cool inflation.
