FX:MACRO - Week 33/2023
"Trading in the summer: where excitement takes a vacation."
Welcome to issue #68 of fx:macro!
I will be taking a small semi-vacation for the next two weeks, so expect a newsletter without the Summary Table and the Market Outlook.
There's a lot of material in this newsletter, so I included a Summary table with the most important info in one place. Everything you find there is derived from data and news in the accompanying PDFs. It's not necessary to go through them all but they provide a lot of depth and background. Skip them if you're short on time or just read the ones that are relevant for you.
If you like this newsletter please consider sharing or forwarding it to others who might be interested in it. I'm also on Twitter @fxmacroguy if you want to reach out.
