*US August Consumer Confidence rose for the first time after three consecutive months of decline and is now 103.2, up from 95.3 in July. Meanwhile, Russia is furthering the WW3 narrative and the Federal Reserve is pushing the US into a recession... very 2022. Though Cryptos are mixed in price action today they are fairing better than Equities which have continued to plummet. Commodities, Equity Futures, EURUSD and Gold are all down while VIX, US Treasuries and DXY continue to go higher with DXY reaching a 22 year high of $112 in today's session. As long as DXY keeps going up, which it likely will if FFR keeps going up, it's going to suck liquidity from just about every other asset. Russia and China are currently wildcards that can either exacerbate or mitigate a financial migration to DXY as a safe haven asset. Key Upcoming Dates: September US Consumer Confidence Index at 10am EST 09/27; August US New-Home Sales at 10am EST 09/27; Final US Q2 GDP revision at 830am EST 09/29; August US PCE price index at 830am EST 09/30.*
