Good morning Traders,
Today, August 18, Lift-Off offers a SHORT trading signal on the main forex market exchange rate, Euro/Dollar.
At the close of the day that makes a loss of 0.86%, closing at 1.0089 USD, losing 88 pips during the session and causing Lift-Off's red band to turn back on.
The EUR/USD exchange rate comes from more than 1 year of bearish trend, which has been significantly accentuated in the early 2022 as a result of the monetary policies of the FED and ECB.
The FED has been raising interest rates, leading investors to invest and strengthening the U.S. Dollar against the Euro and other currencies.
In addition, in Europe, the Geopolitical situation between Russia and Ukraine continues to be difficult.

The Labor Department, meanwhile, revised down last week's figure on initial claims by 10,000 units to 252,000.
The slow upward trend in initial claims has lasted for a month now, following a peak of 261.000 units in mid-July.[...]
