However, prices paid index came in relatively high, signalling that price pressure may be high, even if overall market conditions are weakening at a faster pace. On the other hand, the drop from 58.1 in May to 56.3 now may be seen as a satisfactory sign, that prices pressure will finally cool off. US dollar loses after todays data, with EURUSD rallying above 1.081 level.
