Good Evening,
Platinum Subscribers
I hope you all have a wonderful bank holiday weekend in August and happy labour day to all of you in the US. The month of August has been an extremely interesting month for the US dollar, we have seen a major swing in favour of the dollar with all the major currencies falling against the dollar.
This has in part been due to falling gold prices which has propped the price of the dollar higher as well as trade discussion between the US and China as well as the EU.
This months sentiment shouldn’t differ much even with this NFP result being released as the US economy remains strong and the economic projections are yet to be released till the end of September.
