Last closure
On Tuesday, February 3, trades in USA have come to the end with growth, as a rise in oil prices helped lift energy shares. New orders for U.S. factory goods fell for a fifth straight month in December, but a smaller-than-previously reported drop in business spending plans supported views of a rebound in the months ahead. The Commerce Department said new orders for manufactured goods declined 3.4% as demand fell across a broad sector of industries. That followed a 1.7% decrease in November and exceeded economists expectations for a 2.2% drop. St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard repeated his view that the Fed needs to raise rates sooner and then move gradually higher after that. He also said that the oil price plummet is distorting market-based inflation expectation measures, and that these measures should be set aside until energy prices stabilize. Low government bond yields in the U.S. and other wealthy nations are worrisome because they suggest investors lack confidence in the ability of the Federal Reserve and other central banks to hit their inflation targets, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota said. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones rose by 1.76%, S&P has increased by 1.44%, Nasdaq grew by 1.09%.
European stock exchanges closed with growth of main indexes, fueled by hopes of a resolution to the standoff between the new Greek government and its creditors. Speaking in Rome, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said Athens is working on a “road plan” to lessen the burden of his country’s hefty debt pile, and that he hoped to have struck an agreement with Greece’s creditors by the beginning of June. Activity in the UK's construction sector picked up in January from a 17-month low in December, a closely-watched survey has suggested. The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index rose by more than expected to 59.1 from 57.6 a month earlier, driven by residential housebuilding. Any score above 50 represents growth. On the day’s result, British FTSE rose by 1.32%, CAC 40 (France) grew by 1.09%, DAX (Germany) has increased by 0.58%.
March contractual price on Brent oil, grew by $3.16 to $57.91 per barrel.
