During a 20-month study, Juno - about the size of a professional basketball court - is expected to circle the gas giant in 37 egg-shaped orbits to measure microwaves radiating from inside the planet's thick atmosphere, map its massive magnetic field and conduct other experiments.

Singapore's PMI for June out today

Singapore's purchasing managers' index (PMI) for June will be released today. The data is regarded as a proxy for broad business activity and will show whether the slight growth seen in May continued into last month. The index recorded a reading of 50.1 for May, reflecting a small uptick in business activity, after a contractionary reading of 49.4 in April. Despite the positive May reading, data suggested foreign demand was still poor and export sales still slow.
