Forex news for US Trading on July 15, 2016:
US retail sales came out better than expectations, as did industrial production. Empire manufacturing and the U of Michigan consumer sentiment was not so hot. The market discounted the sentiment and focused on the what the consumer did (via retail sales.) and the dollar moved higher. Later, in the last hour of trading, there was reports of a coup in Turkey and that led to some more buying of the dollar and the JPY as safe haven currencies.
