Last closure
On Monday, December 7, trades in USA have come to the end with decrease, as oil prices tumbled to an almost seven-year low. The focus on oil comes as an interest-rate hike this month is considered a near certainty. The market is pricing in a 79% probability that the Fed will raise interest rates at next week's meeting. The gains followed a strong November U.S. jobs report. The two indexes scored weekly gains of 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively. Crude oil's accelerated decline has kept the index from extending its push to new highs. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones has declined by 0.66%, S&P has lowered by 0.70%, Nasdaq has decreased by 0.79%.
European stock exchanges closed with mixed dynamics of main indexes, boosted by optimism over the strength of the U.S. economy and dovish comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi. The downbeat trading mood last week was spurred by an underwhelming set of easing measure from the ECB, as well as a selloff in oil prices after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries decided not to curtail production. The strong jobs report is widely seen as pushing the Federal Reserve closer to hiking interest rates at its Dec. 15-16 meeting. On the day’s result, British FTSE has declined by 0.24%, DAX (Germany) has increased by 1.25%, CAC 40 (France) grew by 0.88%.
