When is the US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and how could it affect EUR/USD?

US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI Overview

The Institute of Supply Management (ISM) will release the Non-Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) - also known as the ISM Services PMI at 14:00 GMT this Wednesday. Consensus estimated a modest deceleration in growth to 55.9 for the month of June as compared to a three-month high level of 56.9 recorded in the previous month. 

According to analysts at Danske Bank - “The ISM non-manufacturing survey will be giving an interesting indication of whether the service sector is feeling the pinch from the troubles in the manufacturing sector and global economy. Market consensus expects a reading of 56.5. The service PMI has dropped in recent months to nearly 50, which has been a worry for the Fed. Hence a poor reading today would ignite expectations of a considerable upfront Fed easing.”
