The following is an extract from IHS Markit's monthly PMI
overview presentation. For the full report please click on the link

The JPMorgan Global PMI™ (compiled by IHS Markit) jumped by a
record 11.4 index points in June, building on a prior record
increase of just over 10 index points in May to push the index to a
five-month high. Despite the rise, at 47.7, the PMI remained below
the no-change 50.0 level to indicate a fifth successive monthly
deterioration of output across the combined manufacturing and
service sectors. However, historical comparisons indicate that a
PMI reading of 46.7 is the cut off level between global GDP rising
or falling on an annual basis, suggesting that the June surveys
were indicative of a very modest return to growth for the global
economy.
The rebound in the PMI from it's unprecedented low in April has
been driven by the loosening of COVID-19 containment measures
around the world during both May and June, which has resulted in
many non-essential businesses reopening and demand picking up
again, albeit from a low base in most cases.
