A pack of data from the United States was released this afternoon. Revision of the services PMI index for October showed a slightly higher reading than flash release but the biggest surprise came at 2:00 pm GMT, when ISM data was released. Services ISM index jumped from 61.9 to 66.7, while the market expects a more or less unchanged reading. This is the highest reading since 1997! A big jump was noted in the prices paid index. Factory orders data for September that was released simultaneously also showed better-than-expected readings.
