US PPI and University of Michigan index on the agenda
European index futures point to a lower opening of the cash session on the Old Continent. This comes after a downbeat trading earlier today in Asia and after a mixed Wall Street session yesterday.
GBP is the best performing major currency following the release of a better-than-expected GDP report for Q2 2023. AUD is also gaining following testimony of RBA Governor Lowe. On the other hand, NZD is a top laggard after PMI data for July showed the manufacturing sector remaining in contraction for the fifth month in a row.
