Personal opinions today:

But markets were also focused tonight U.S. retail sales and industrial output data for June. The market expected that the U.S. retail sales and industrial output fell in June from a last month that would be bearish for the dollar.
Separately, Bank of England governor Carney and federal reserve chairman Powell spoke tonight. Their speech involves the country's monetary policy and can influence the market.
