Last closure
On Monday, November 21, trades in USA have come to the end with growth of main indexes, as the price of oil jumped. Investors are hoping that OPEC countries will soon finalize a deal that would cut oil production and help support prices. Fed vice chair Stanley Fischer said yesterday that "some combination of improved public infrastructure, better education, more encouragement for private investment, and more effective regulation all likely have a role to play in promoting faster growth of productivity and living standards". And, "by raising equilibrium interest rates, such policies may also reduce the probability that the economy, and the Federal Reserve, will have to contend more than is necessary with the effective lower bound on interest rates." On the day’s result, index Dow Jones has risen by 0.47%, S&P has increased by 0.75%, Nasdaq has grown by 0.89%.
