•  China's manufacturing sector grew at its slowest pace in four months in July as output and new orders lost momentum, though export orders returned to growth after two months of contraction, a private survey showed on Monday.

• The RatingDog China General Manufacturing PMI, compiled by S&P Global, fell to 50.9 in July from 51.7 in June, below market expectations of 51.5..

• Prior to the market opening, the People's Bank of China set the midpoint rate   at 6.7898 per dollar, 534 pips weaker than a Reuters estimate.

•  Immediate resistance is located at 6.771(SMA 20), any close above will push the pair towards 6.781(38.2%fib)

• Support is seen at 6.749(23.6%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 6.740 (Lower BB).
