Fundamental view

Activity in United States’ sector of services probably continued to expand during July, with the corresponding non-manufacturing PMI coming in at a reading of 56.5, according to expectations, from 56.0 in June. 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 supplier deliveries.

The business report is based on data compiled from monthly replies to questions asked of over 370 purchasing and supply executives operating in over 62 different industries, which represent nine divisions from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) categories. Readings above the key level of 50.0 are indicative of expanding activity. In case market expectations are exceeded, US dollar will receive a boost. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) is to release the official reading at 14:00 GMT.
