USD ticked higher following the release of the US ISM services index for June. Index came in much better than expected, rising from 50.3 to 53.9 (exp. 51.0). Subindices look promising with employment subindex climbing back above 50.0 threshold, new orders subindex rising noticeably and prices subindex weakening.
