US retail sales: Friday, 12:30. The US consumer has been out and about in July. The total volume of sales rose by 0.5% and core sales advanced by 0.6%. Despite some downward revisions, the overall picture looks quite upbeat. Further increases are on the cards for August, but a slower pace may be seen. The data feed into GDP calculations and have a significant impact. Headline sales are predicted to rise by 0.4% and core sales by 0.5%.

 

US consumer sentiment: Friday, 14:00. The University of Michigan’s final consumer sentiment figure for August stood at 95.3 points, lower than in previous months. On the other hand, the parallel CB measure jumped to the highest levels since the year 2000. We will now get the preliminary read by UoM for September. It will be interesting to see if the trade wars have already had an effect on the American consumer. Higher prices may hurt confidence. A level of 96.9 is on the cards.

Update: Today's candle is bearish so we remain bearish until the pair breaks the neckline of the pattern. As could be seen on the daily chart that the pair formed a head and shoulders pattern. The second shoulder is being formed. Once it is formed, we will wait for the pair to break the neck-line of the pattern. It will be confirmed with a daily close above the neck-line. In case the neck-line is broken, it is expected that the pair might continue going up to reach the level of 1.1850.
