EURUSD trading plan:

A gauge of future U.S. economic activity dropped for the 16th straight month in July, though the pace of decline slowed from earlier in the year, a fresh survey showed. The Conference Board said its Leading Economic Index fell 0.4% last month after declining 0.7% in June. "The leading index continues to suggest that economic activity is likely to decelerate and descend into mild contraction in the months ahead," said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board. "The Conference Board now forecasts a short and shallow recession in the Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 timespan.” The dollar sees increased demand from traders at the start of a recession.
