Fears regarding reduction of QE continue to soar over stock market of the USA


The forthcoming week promises to be the most interesting for all leaving 2013. The head of FED, Ben Bernanke, will carry out, probably, the last meeting as the chairman and nobody excludes a possibility that he can finish his 7-year term with beginning of turning of the stimulating measures. Undoubtedly, even the probability of such outcome already presses on dynamics of stock markets, and the prospect to chop off New Year's rally can force Bernanke to reduce buying up volumes by only symbolical sum. However even in this case it will be enough to return demand for US dollar, especially against yen and the British pound.

The stock market of the USA spent Friday in the lateral range, having finished trading session with the minimum changes. However that decrease which the American stock indexes showed for the past week for 1,5-1,7%%, was maximum for the last 2 months.

Sales also were caused by the publication of preliminary data on an index of business activity in the industry according to HSBC – the indicator decreased from 50,8 points in November to 50,5 points in December.

Leading stock indexes of Europe on Friday didn't show considerable changes. Following the results of a week they went down for 1,4-1,8%% against macroeconomic statistics and corporate news in the Eurozone which disappointed investors. Shares of the British insurance company RSA Insurance Group appeared in leaders of falling on Friday, having fallen for 7%% after messages on resignation of its executive director. Thus the British FTSE-100 index, having lost in a week 1,7%%, showed decrease the sixth week in a row.

In France there will be preliminary data on indexes of business activity in the industry and in a services sector for December.

Investors directed attention to the forthcoming meeting of FED

On Tuesday, the stock market of the United States of America finished the trading session in the negative territory. The main reason which has pushed indexes to go down were new doubts, whether the Congress of the USA will be able to accept the budget till 13th of December. It should be noted that, according to a number of experts, it will be difficult to agree in established periods especially as the arrangement on financing of the public expenditures works till 15th of January of next year, and the ceiling of a national debt is lifted till 7th of February.

From the middle of October the two-party commission under the leadership of heads of the budgetary committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate could not succeed to achieve significant progress in this question, thus statements of politicians are often very inconsistent. The probability of one more shutdown of the government isn't excluded, what really influences moods of the participants of the markets. Additionally to this, it is difficult to predict what outcome will be from the forthcoming meeting of FED which will take place on 17th and 18th of December. It is quite possible that next week the regulator will make the decision on reduction of the current program of quantitative easing.

There is existing also an opinion that if the special commission from representatives of republican and democratic parties nevertheless will agree by 13th of December, FED won't have any occasions to hesitate with QE3 reduction.

Following the results of the trading session, the indicator of "blue chips" the Dow Jones Industrial Average index lost 0,33%% and was closed on a level of 15 973,13 points, the index of the wide market S&P 500 went to a minus for 0,32%% to level of 1 802,62 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies Nasdaq decreased for 0,20%% to a level of 4 060,49 of point.

Key stock indexes of Europe also showed negative dynamics due to the same concerns and general uncertainty in the market. Following the results of the trading session, the key index of Great Britain FTSE 100 went down for 0,55%%, French CAC 40 lost 1,04%% and German DAX went to a minus for 0,88%%. The regional STXE 600 indicator, in turn, decreased by 0,7%% and was closed on a mark 314,91 points. Thus the general negative dynamics wasn't supported only by Austria.

Commodities market is flat, Brent is increasing for 0,12%% this morning and is traded on a level of 109,26$ per barrel, WTI is losing just 0,02%% at a price of 98,64$ per barrel.  Gold and silver are losing 0,31%% and 0,14%% accordingly, being of a prices of 1257,17$ and 20,29$ per troy ounce.

Markets start to move carefully before meeting of FED

In the stock markets proceeded careful growth. In the morning of the quotation of risky assets were supported by data on growth of the Chinese export in November for 12,7%% after growth of 5,6%% in October. These data were regarded not only as positive for the economy, but also as the testimony of growing world demand. It should be noted also that investors don't hurry to draw conclusions about earlier beginning of turning of stimulating measures from FED after obtaining strong data on gross domestic product of the USA for the III quarter and strong statistics on the American labor market in November. So, the index of the wide market S&P 500 reached yesterday a new historical record.

As a result of the trading session, Dow Jones increased for 0,03%% up to the level of 16025,53 points; Nasdaq added 0,15%% and reached level of 4068, 75 points; S&P 500 increased for 0,18%% up to the level of 1808,37 points.

Yesterday markets also received opinion from two representatives of FED, both of them were relatively positive. In a little more positive for the markets context there was a statement of head of FED of Saint Louis, James Bullard, who in the current year has the right to vote at meetings. He reported that the last improvements on a labor market increase probability of fast reduction of stimulating measures, however these actions have to be careful as inflation is at minimum levels. Statements of head of FED of Dallas, Richard Fischer, who will acquire a vote for FOMC next year were surer. He called the current time suitable to start turning of volumes of QE, however explained that any operations of the regulator have to proceed in the conditions of full clarity and transparency for the markets.

According to recent polls of Bloomberg about 34%% of economists and analysts expect the beginning of turning of volumes of quantitative incentives at December meeting, thus the vast majority is sure that at the end of the I quarter 2014 the volume of purchases of assets from FED will be less from current 85 billion dollars a month.

The beginning of new week in the commodity markets passed negatively, pressure on which has been amplified due to a number of the objective reasons. Quotations of oil and the majority of metals yesterday considerably decreased after the publication of statistical data from China and Germany. The volume of import to China in November slowed down growth rates from 7,6%% to 5,3%% in annual expression. Besides, industrial production volume in Germany in October unexpectedly decreased to minimum since May values, having fallen for 1,2%% in September at forecasts of growth for 0,9%%. Additional pressure upon oil quotations was put by the first meeting which has begun in Vienna of experts of Iran and "six" countries concerning development of mechanisms of implementation of the interim agreement reached at the end of November.

Brent is traded on a level of 109,63$ per barrel adding 0,45%%, WTI is on a price of 97,95$ per barrel increasing for 0,40%%. Gold is up for 0,87%% at price of 1244,98$ per troy ounce, silver is trying to get back what has been lost last week and is up for 1,22%% at a price of 19,94$ per troy ounce.
