Key Quotes
“The manufacturing and construction PMIs are the focus this week. Both are expected to remain below the 50 boom/bust level, but less so than in July. A new headwind may emerge in the form high bond yields, despite BOE weekly purchases, if rising US yields pull other yields higher too. In the current environment, we suspect that a strong US dollar environment may correspond to firm sterling against the euro.”
