TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Investors are keeping a close eye on the June service manufacturing PMIs for Germany and the eurozone, which will be released on Tuesday. The manufacturing PMIs have weakened for six straight months – will this continue in June? Although the PMIs continue to show expansion in Germany and the eurozone, the markets remain nervous that the escalating trade war is having a negative impact on the manufacturing sector. If the readings continue to head lower on Tuesday, European equity markets could respond with losses.
