Today is the day of statistical data on business activity, which will most likely lead to speculative price fluctuations by the time it is published.
Europe will be the first to report on business activity, where the index of business activity in the manufacturing sector for June is expected to decline from 63.1 points to 62.1 points.
The index is prepared by Markit Economics, which monitors the activity of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector and reflects the changing business conditions in this industry. The growth of the index leads to a strengthening of the economy and an increase in the value of the national currency. The decline in the index is considered a negative factor, which leads to a weakening of the national currency.
The index of business activity in the European services sector may increase from 55.2 to 57.8 points.
