The Bank of England has reported the number of Mortgage Approvals for June at 40,000 (vs 35,000 expected). France's National Statistics Office has released July Consumer Confidence Indicator at 94 (vs 99 expected, 97 in June).
Asian indices closed in dispersed order. Hong Kong HSI and Chinese CSI closed in the green when Japanese Nikkei and Australian ASX closed on the downside.
WTI Crude Oil futures are on the upside. The American Petroleum Institute (API) reported that U.S. crude stockpiles dropped 7M bbl for the week ended July 24. Later today, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) will release official crude oil inventories data for the same week (+4.892M bbl expected).
