German GDP in Focus

US Market Wrap

US markets put in an interesting session yesterday, marked by some up and down price action.

The SPX managed to push higher and price looks like it is trying its best to establish itself at these record-high levels.

Meanwhile, the USD, pushed lower early before recovering and as such had a big impact on the majors and especially GOLD. The yellow metal looked to be really rallying, only to give up most of its gains and end up back where it started.

The USD will continue to be an interesting trade this week, especially as we near Jackson Hole, with many expecting Fed boss Jerome Powell to adjust their inflation target.

The Data Agenda

Early in the European session much of the attention will be on the release of German data that could well impact the EUR/USD.

We get German GDP which is looking very soft at the moment followed by business climate.

In the US session, consumer confidence for August will be one to watch, while we also see more data on new home sales.
