European currency rose against the dollar and the yen after the manufacturing activity in the euro zone in June continued to decline, although the rate of decline was the lowest in nearly half a year. According to data released by the company Markit, an indicator of manufacturing activity in June rose to 48.8 compared to 48.3 in May. Previously provided guidance assumed a slightly smaller increase. A value below 50 indicates a contraction of manufacturing activity from the previous month, but the current figure shows the least negative dynamics over the last 16 months.
At the same time, the unemployment rate in the euro zone rose to 12.1%. Value of the index in the previous month was revised from 12.2% to 12%.
