PMIs just on either side of 50

"The latest PMI’s have offered a better than expected improvement in manufacturing alongside an as expected improvement in services. Both readings remain very close to the expansion/contraction threshold at 50, offering little in terms of material growth or contraction. This week’s data calendar is light and includes CBI sentiment data on Tuesday."
