A better-than-expected print here and once again the services sector is helping to offset the disappointment seen in the manufacturing sector; a similar story across the region. Nonetheless, the composite reading remains similar to that in May so there's nothing much to be cheerful about.

EUR/USD has grown weaker in the past few minutes though, falling to a near two-week low of 1.1269 currently.
