01:30 PM BST, United States - Employment Data:

Jobless Claims 4-Week Avg.: actual 236.50K; previous 241.00K;
Initial Jobless Claims: actual 227K; forecast 236K; previous 234K;
Continuing Jobless Claims: actual 1,864K; forecast 1,880K; previous 1,871K;

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.
