•     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
