The Composite PMI index fell from 52.8 to 50.3 in June, lower than the market expectation of 52.5. Although the reading recorded an expansion which stay above the 50-level threshold, the business activity growth drop of 2.5 points was the largest recorded for a year. S&amp;P Global reported that the new order fell for the first time, employment growth slowed, and future output expectations deteriorated. The economic slowdown in the euro has been accompanied by an apparent tightening of monetary policy by the European Central Bank (ECB) to curb high inflation. As inflation was recorded at 6% in May and the labour market is still in resilient conditions, suggesting more price pressure ahead as workers improve their bargaining power. Meanwhile, Germany, the bloc\u2019s biggest economy, outperformed service, and France was a significant drag with a services PMI of 48.\u00a0 Firms surveyed said economic activity was down again, citing inflation and tough financial conditions as reasons for the drop in business activity. As of writing, the EUR\/USD edged up by 0.03% to $1.0905.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the commodities market, crude oil prices slipped by -0.01% to $69.15 per barrel as investors waited for more clarity on news of a mutiny in Russia.
