Later today, 2Q GDP readings will be released (an annualized declining rate of -34.1% on quarter expected). The Labor Department will report Initial Jobless Claims for the week ended July 25 (an increase to 1.450 million expected).

Official data showed that the number of building approvals in Australia dropped 4.9% on month in June, worse than expected.
WTI Crude Oil futures are under pressure.
