US PMI data beats the street- EUR/USD unmoved so far (corrected)

The US flash June PMI numbers have just been released. 

The services sector was forecast to rise to 51.1 from 50.7 . It has risen 51.3
The manufacturing sector was forecast to fall to 54.6 from 55.1. It has risen to 55.7
The composite was forecast to rise to 52.1 from 51.5. It has risen to 52.2

So good numbers from the US this afternoon, but so far that has not helped the dollar very much, but we should note it was already elevated and had gained so far today ahead of these reports. The EUR/USD had traded as low as 1.1383 and was trading around 1.1397 as this data hit the screens. It is currently trading at 1.1395. Certainly there is no reason to sell the dollar on the back of this data.
