A cluster of information delivered promptly toward the beginning of the day gave more certain indications for the US economy, with a solid appearance from the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing review. That assisted with starting a movement of USD strength which prompted a breakout to new August highs.
There was likewise a melody of Fed-talk today, as different individuals from the FOMC thought on rate strategy pushing ahead. This ought to stay in the center over the course of the following week, in front of the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
