India, July 24 -- France's private sector contracted only marginally in July as the services economy logged a notable turnaround, survey data from S&P Global showed Friday.

The flash composite output index rose to 49.6 in July from 47.2 in the previous month.

The score suggested only a marginal decline in private sector activity when compared to the previous month. Moreover, the reading was the highest since the outbreak of the Middle East war at the end of February.
