REDATOR Ben Graham Posted July 18, 2025 REDATOR Report Share Posted July 18, 2025 Log in to today's North American session recap for the July 18, 2025.Today's session has been a bit muted, with the U-of-Mich Release being a tiny bit worse than expected, but Inflation Expectations still a bit lower than previous reports.Some Profit-taking has been spotted in Equities after a very decent beginning to the earnings week.The FED just entered it's blackout Period – A two-week period before the upcoming Rate Decision.For the rest, there hasn't been much except for a sell-the-news on Cryptos after the US Senate passed three bills for more widespread adaptation of Digital Assets – Hardcore Crypto aficionados would estimate that these developments go against the core principles of Cryptocurrencies that aim to decentralize finance.The retracement is still nothing compared to the huge rally from this week.Sentiment still has to be monitored closely this week as despite shrugging of largely unadvanced Trade Tariff talks, the overall mood is starting to emit bizarre vibes.
