Tuesday preview: Global services PMIs, U.S. JOLTS report in the spotlight

The market spotlight on Tuesday would be on the global services sector with a spate of closely followed survey results due out around the world.

Overnight, survey compiler Caixin would release its China services sector Purchasing Managers' Index.

It would be followed at 0930 GMT and 0900 GMT by final readings for rival services PMIs in the UK and euro area.

Euro area producer price data at 1000 GMT might also draw some attention.

The Institute for Supply Management's own services PMI would follow at 1500 GMT.

Earlier, at 1330 GMT, the U.S. Department of Labor would publish its JOLTS job market survey data for October.

Also scheduled for overnight was the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest interest rate announcement.

Consensus was that official short-term interest rates would be kept at 4.35%.
