Macro data from the US came in really strong. Retail sale in July was well above analysts' expectations and despite a downside revision of sales for the previous June, we are seeing significant increases. Moreover, weekly jobless claims fell again, returning to a range below 230k.
The data was positively received by the market. In the first reaction after the publication, the USD gains strongly in anticipation of a more hawkish Fed stance. On the other hand, the strong sell-off supports investors' hopes for a soft landing without a recession. That is why we are seeing strong gains on equity indices and the cryptocurrency market.
