31st Aug - EU Open


My views remain unchanged: check the Best of August for them. Both EURUSD and SPX have plenty of downside left, even within a largely bullish scenario - and September's main events are getting close... Yesterday's regular posts had plenty of good stuff on Europe, if you missed, do yourself a favor! I'm posting the usual Best of the Week later today in addition to the regular posts.

Yesterday on MoreLiver’s:
30.8. Best of August most read pieces + all my ’views’
