Fundamental view
Activity in United States’ sector of services probably rose to a six-month high in April, with the corresponding non-manufacturing PMI coming in at a reading of 54.1, according to expectations, from 53.1 in March. This is a compound index, based on the values of four equally-weighted components, that comprise it. These sub-indexes reflect seasonally adjusted new orders, seasonally adjusted employment, seasonally adjusted business activity and shipments.
Readings above the key level of 50.0 are indicative of expanding activity. In case market expectations are exceeded, US dollar would be boosted.
The Institute for Supply Management is scheduled to release official data at 14:00 GMT.
