Today the US celebrates Independence Day, so the American stock market will be closed and volatility will be low throughout the day. Nevertheless, a number of macroeconomic reports have been received from Europe and Australia, which influenced the rates.
Today there have been published macroeconomic reports on retail sales in the EU and Australia, as well as the consumer price index in Switzerland.
