Economic data risk coming up in this session 18 Aug

Greetings one and all.

TGIF.

Simply awful news from Barcelona. For me made even more chilling , if that is indeed possible, by the fact that my son was there partying with friends just a few weeks ago. Sincere condolences and thoughts go out to anyone sadly caught up in this latest atrocity. Thankfully, at least, another attempt nearby has been foiled overnight by police.

Data wise today, not that it really matters in context, it's a relatively quiet one to end the week. Fed's Kaplan up to the mic again later too.

As always I wish you good trading and I hope we can help make/save you a few pips along the way.
