Global Manufacturing Growth Near 2-year Low -PMI

(Reuters) - The global manufacturing sector grew at its slowest pace in June in nearly two years, when the latest upturn began, as factories in Europe and Asia saw a drop off in new orders, a survey showed on Friday.

The Global Manufacturing PMI, compiled by JP Morgan with research and supply organisations, fell in June to 52.3 from 53.0 in May, its lowest reading since July 2009.
