Last closure
On Wednesday, April 6, trades in USA have come to the end with growth, led by a jump in health care and energy companies. Federal Reserve policymakers debated last month whether an interest rate hike would be needed in April though a consensus emerged that risks from a global economic slowdown warranted a cautious approach. According to the minutes, several of the central bankers said elevated risks faced by the U.S. economy meant that raising rates in April "would signal a sense of urgency they did not think appropriate." "In contrast, some other participants indicated that an increase in the target range at the Committee's next meeting might well be warranted," the minutes stated. On the day’s result, index Dow Jones rose by 0.64%, S&P has increased by 1.05%, Nasdaq grew by 1.59%.
