PMI data from the European services sector came relatively positive overall. The reading remains above the key 50-point barrier across the zone, and the reading itself is almost in line with the preliminary data. The reading in Germany itself is worse, but it is offset by good data from Italy and France. The euro resumes growth after the reading against the USD and breaks above 1.0700.
