Euro, Eurozone Bonds Little Moved After Eurozone PMI Data -- Market Talk

0829 GMT - The euro stays slightly higher against the dollar while eurozone government bond yields remain lower after the July eurozone purchasing managers' survey exceeded expectations. The eurozone composite purchasing managers' index rose to 51.9 in July from 50.0 in June, above the 50.2 forecast by economists in a WSJ survey. High oil prices could weigh on economic activity going forward, however. "July is seeing a welcome revival of economic activity in the eurozone, but a volatile geopolitical environment means it remains to be seen if the good news can last," SP economist Chris Williamson says in the survey's press release. The euro rises 0.1% to $1.1387. The 10-year German bund yield falls 1.4 basis points to 3.195%, LSEG data show. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
