Trump risks being isolated that if so eventually becomes marginalized and then becomes outmaneuvered.
His (Trump's) antagonistic approach could/will/is creat-e-(ing) a united and yet multiple front
As I have said before Trump's poker style is to bully the table at every hand and of course at same time to bluff. Once he is all in especially with China then he may be the one to go visit

re : In early August, Washington froze the assets of Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul and Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu over their alleged "leading roles" in Brunson�s imprisonment, as well as other human rights abuses.
What assets???????? Did he have money in US Banks ? Did he have money outside of Turkey?

Even IF erdogan releases the pastor (be it in one piece at once or little piece by piece) President Trump would maybe only NOT increase tariff or apply other kind of pain.
To think that releasing the pastor is a precondition for ending tariffs is a mis-perception and mis-understanding.

COT is useless outdated data set. A waste of time as tea leaves for trading.
Daily chart shows on Wed , the day after COT sum-totals its report, eurdlr established its week low at 1.1298 and thru Wed - Th - Fr went only uP . Only folks who care about COT are those whose positions actually make up the report. Subsequent day price-action for the rest of the week tells substantially more.
The way I read the daily action suggests that players would like Euro uP and USD down some BUT remain as yet more careful than enthusiastic. For eurusd to show uPward leg it will need to see 1.1450 and preferably above 1.15 to heat up player sentiment.
Amazing Trader - which claims to be fresh and actionable signaler - appears to corroborate as it is not yet showing an uP red rung'ed ladder starting.
Bottom Line
Prudence loading long eur/usd
probably the better tactic.

Agree with john, need to be careful with that premature hysteria. Just one slide will ruin the whole effort as happened before, we'll see. Good luck with that euphoria.

Spot euro 11392? No way, it closed way above pivot on friday. It should go much higher next. Your bias indicator is lagging and backward looking.

Still this far BELOW the 20 day avg (1.1562)
so OBJECTIVE EURUSD bias remains negative. EURUSD has fallen a long way recently. I try to keep my personal sentiment out of this determination...

Inflation comes in hot in July, rising to 3.0%
Consumer prices rose 3.0% year-on-year in Canada in July, up from 2.5% in June and well ahead of median expectations for an unchanged print. Prices rose 0.5% month-on-month.
Key Implications
Headline inflation jumped unexpectedly in July. The jump in air transportation was a big factor, adding over 0.3 percentage points to price growth over the past year. This looks to be a one-off, reflecting the impact of higher fuel and labour costs on the airline industry.
The relative stability of core inflation measures may give the Bank of Canada some solace. Still, with an economy beating expectations and a range of indicators pointing to limited excess capacity, maintaining stable inflation is likely to require further rate hikes by the central bank with the next one likely coming in October.
