      No significant difference in the statement
      AUD/USD weakened slightly at the release of the statement but recovered and advanced even more in the following minutes
     China’s HSBC services PMI dropped to its lowest reading in the nine-year series history
      No major reaction from AUD and NZD at the release
     Today: service-sector PMI day for July
      Final service-sector PMIs for July from France, Germany and Eurozone; bloc’s retail sales for June are also coming out
      UK: service-sector PMI is expected to have increased slightly in July; strong reading should be important for Cable to regain its lost glamor
