We’re kicking off a new week on the financial markets. This morning’s macroeconomic data has had a limited impact so far: Hungarian retail sales came in better than expected (4.8% y/y vs. 4.7% expected), but Hungarian industrial production came in below expectations (-0.4% y/y vs. 1.4% expected), while German factory orders exceeded forecasts (1.9% m/m vs. 1.5% expected).
This afternoon, market attention will shift to the U.S., where the PMI and ISM PMI data for the services sector for June will be released. The Services PMI (forecast: 51.4) will be released at 3:45 p.m., followed by the key ISM Non-Manufacturing Index (forecast: 54.2, previously 54.5) at 4:00 p.m., along with its components: Business Activity, Employment, and the Prices Index. In the evening, comments from central bank officials—Waller of the Fed (5:00 p.m.) and Lane of the ECB (8:30 p.m.)—are expected, which may influence expectations regarding the future path of interest rates.
