• Later in the day, we had the industrial new orders for Europe. Figures came out higher than previous at 15.5% YoY, shortly helping the Euro against its counterparts.
• No information came out from the US or from the UK.

 Today’s Market Movers

• Very few pieces of information are expected today, with nothing out of the US or Europe.
• In the UK, the only data will be the BBA Mortgage Approvals for July. Expected slightly better at 31.5K, it shouldn’t have a great impact on the markets.
