Market focus
On Thursday, August 23, 2018, the day is saturated with data on business activity in Germany, the euro area and the US. The main events of the day will be the publication of the ECB protocol, which will be released in the middle of the day.
In the afternoon, in addition to statistics on business activity, there are data on the number of initial jobless claims and real estate sales in the US.
The planned news in the current situation is receding into the background and can have a weak effect against the backdrop of geopolitical risks and trade confrontation.
