Market Update – July 5 – US back to business, EU/UK PMIs, FOMC Minutes ahead

After 2 days of subdued trading due to holidays in the US, we are back in full swing.

There was also a virtual meeting between the three biggest powers bidding to reshape the global order dominated by the United States, with Putin, XI and Modi meeting at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, demonstrating a fairly close collaboration.
