The dollar is strong against the pound and the euro this morning, benefitting from sterling’s weakness. Today, we’ll see the release of manufacturing PMI data for the US. Should the figure drop below 50, we could see a market reaction. These figures are considered leading indicators of GDP, and therefore could influence Federal Reserve policy.
The ISM figure is expected to come in at 51, whilst the Markit figure could remain within contraction territory.
