Last closure
On Monday, February 2, trades in USA have come to the end with growth, as energy producers gained with crude oil and phone shares rallied. The Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity fell to 53.5 from 55.1 the month before. The reading was shy of expectations of 54.5. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector. The new orders index fell to 52.9 from 57.8. The prices paid index fell to 35 from 38.5, compared to expectations for 39.5. The employment index fell to 54.1 from 56, also short of expectations for a reading of 56. Exxon Mobil rose 2.5%. The company reported a steep drop in fourth-quarter profit that still beat analysts’ expectations as the rout in oil prices ushered in an era of frugality for an industry that reaped $3.2 trillion in sales last year. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones rose by 1.14%, S&P has increased by 1.30%, Nasdaq grew by 0.89%.
European stock exchanges closed with growth of main indexes. The energy sector was the best performing on Monday, with shares in the group catching up to Friday’s surge in oil prices. Eurozone manufacturing purchasing managers index confirmed the flash estimate of 51.0, up from December’s reading of 50.6. The gain was tempered by a decline in activity in Italy, France, Greece and Austria. The PMI in Greece fell to a 15-month low. Slower job creation and weaker demand from abroad dampened growth in Germany's manufacturing sector in January in a somewhat sluggish start to the year for Europe's largest economy. Markit's purchasing manager's index for the manufacturing sector, which accounts for about a fifth of the economy, fell to 50.9, edging down from a preliminary reading of 51.0 as well as from December's 51.2. On the day’s result, British FTSE rose by 0.49%, CAC 40 (France) grew by 0.51%, DAX (Germany) has increased by 1.25%.
March contractual price on Brent oil, grew by $1.76 to $54.75 per barrel.
