Poor results from the US labour market during June failed to ignite a more durable bull run in the pair, which remains more dependent on the outcome of Sunday’s referendum in Greece.
Moving on to Friday’s docket in Euroland, the final figures of the Services PMIs are due ahead of EMU’s Retail Sales for the month of May (0.1% MoM exp.).
