USDJPY trading plan:
The U.S. services sector barely grew in May as new orders slowed, pushing a measure of prices paid by businesses for inputs to a three-year low, which could aid the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation. Meanwhile, factory orders rose for a second straight month in April, but aside from a jump in orders for national defense, overall manufacturing activity was soft, in keeping with private survey data showing the sector now in a prolonged downturn. Though the PMI remains above the 49.9 level, which the ISM says over time indicates growth in the overall economy, last month's slowdown heightened the risks of a recession. The ISM reported last week that its manufacturing PMI was stuck below the 50 thresholds in May for the seventh straight month, the longest such stretch since the Great Recession.
