Services activity in June expanded at the fastest pace in over 11 years. This comes amid new demand orders and upturn in economic activity, following withdrawal of pandemic restrictions, a private survey showed.  

Data released by S&P Global on Tuesday showed that Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) services rose from 58.9 in May to 59.2 in June, the highest since April 2011.
