Last closure
On Monday, April 7, trades in USA have come to the end with decrease, as technology and consumer shares extended last week’s slide. Technology shares have been hit as traders dump the biggest winners of the bull market amid concern valuations have advanced too far. U.S. consumer credit rose more than expected in February, likely reflecting a surge in demand for student and automobile loans. Total consumer credit increased by $16.49 billion to $3.13 trillion, the Federal Reserve said on Monday. January's consumer credit figure was revised to show a $13.80 billion increase instead of the previously reported $13.70 billion gain. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones has declined by 1.02%, S&P has lowered by 1.08%, Nasdaq has decreased by 1.16%.
European stock exchanges closed with decrease of main indexes, posting their biggest decline in a month, as shares of technology companies tumbled. Technology shares lost 2%, the most among 19 industry groups in the benchmark gauge, with United Internet AG falling 4.3% and ARM Holdings Plc dropping 2.4%. Osram Licht AG slid the most since it started trading after its spinoff from Siemens AG as Berenberg Bank lowered its rating. German industrial output has risen for the fourth month in a row, signaling a resilience in Europe's largest economy to the slower recoveries of weaker members in the 18-nation euro zone. Eurozone investor confidence came in slightly below expectations, according to April’s monthly survey by Sentix published on Monday. The indicator did rise from the prior 13.9 to 14.1, but still remained below the consensus forecast of 14.2. On the day’s result, British FTSE has declined by 1.09%, CAC 40 (France) has decreased by 1.08%, DAX (Germany) has lowered by 1.91%.
Mays’ contractual price on Brent oil, decreased by $0.90 to $105.82 per barrel.

All ten shares of an index basket have retreated. Worse than market looked shares of Alchevsk Metallurgical Plan (-4.31%), Ukrsotsbank (-4.26%) and Enakievo Metallurgical Plant (-4.23%). In Donetsk, a large industrial city in Ukraine's east, pro-Russian protesters stormed the regional legislature and, according to reports in Russian media, declared the city Donetsk People’s Republic on Monday. The protesters are now demanding a referendum on joining Russia, with May 11 touted as the day of the vote, and calling for peacekeepers from Russia to intervene. Of course, this all looks a little Crimea 2.0. And that's especially worrying, as there have been a number of other reports of pro-Russian protests in other Ukrainian cities like Kharkiv and Luhansk. The foreign exchange reserves of the National Bank of Ukraine in March 2014 shrank by $382.73 million, to $15.079 billion.
