The FOMC protocol showed that the representatives of the Federal Reserve did not see eye to eye on the reduction of the assets volume on the balance of the Central Bank. Some officials believe that there is no necessity to hurry with the implementation of this program since the latest economic reports from the United States were mixed. The probability of an increase in the Fed’s key interest rate in December this year fell to 47.4%.

The UK continues to publish weak statistics. In June, the index of business activity in the services sector was 53.4 in comparison with the previous value at the level of 53.8.
