Stock markets closed the last trading week mainly in negative territory. European stock markets are still influenced with the geopolitical situation in Ukraine, and even positive statistics did not help indices to move up.

Investors Are Waiting For FED Meeting This Week

The beginning of the week has again been influenced by the situation in Ukraine, where intensity continues to strengthen. During Friday’s telephone conference leaders of France, the USA, Germany and Italy, discussed the possibility of an introduction of new sanctions against Russia, thus heads of all four countries believe that the Russian Federation, according to the accepted arrangements, have to take action towards the de-escalation of the conflict, and refuse provocative statements. At the same time, the U.S. are easy going when it comes to the introduction of new sanctions, but European countries are not really willing to proceed with the same attitude, as they are going to become safer due to these actions, and are affected by the situation much more than the U.S.

On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index finished the trading session with a loss of 0,75% and was closed on a level of 16378,05 points, the index of the wide market, S&P 500, went to a minus by 0,76% and reached the level of 1864,33 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, fell by 1,68% to the level of 4078,79 points.

European indices also finished the trading week rather differently, but mainly in negative territory. The British FTSE 100 lost 0,26%, the French index, CAC 40, added 0,80%, and the German DAX went to a minus by 1,54%. The regional STXE 600 indicator decreased, in turn, by 0,80% and was closed on a level of 333,5 points. This morning, indices opened the trading week at almost the same levels they closed with on Friday. The FTSE 100 adds 0,26%, the DAX index adds 0,27% so far, and the CAC 40 grows by 0,19%.

Today, the economic calendar is rather empty, and there aren't any important macroeconomic reports expected, but special attention should be paid to the results of the meeting of the FED, results which we will be able to see on Wednesday the 30th of April, 2014. On Thursday, the majority of the stock markets will be closed in relation to the celebration of Labour Day.

Meeting In Geneva Brought Positive Results

Yesterday, what was deemed as the most important event of the day, brought positive and optimistic results. Negotiations went on for 7 hours when only a 2,5 hour meeting was planned. The involved parties came to an agreement an signed the Geneva statement of April the 17th, in which it was declared there was a need to accept the initial, concrete steps on the de-escalation of intensity, and establish safety for all citizens of Ukraine. In the signed document, all the members of the meeting accepted the fact that it is necessary to disarm all illegal paramilitary groups, to return occupied buildings to their legitimate owners, and to free all of the seized squares and streets across the entire Ukraine.

Even though the results of the meeting in Geneva were considered to be very optimistic, the situation in the country remains tentative and there is still a long way to go until the conflict is resolved.

The Ministry of Labor of the U.S. presented data on the American labor market. The number of primary requests for unemployment benefits grew for the week by only 2 thousand, to the level of 304 thousand, whilst analysts were expecting an increase of up to 315 thousand. The average amount of applications for the last 4 weeks, as a result, fell to 312 000, having reached the lowest value since October 2007. Additionally, the index of business activity in the manufacturing industry of the FED of Philadelphia, grew in April to 16,6 points against the forecast of 10,0 points.

As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index lost just 0,1% and finished the trading session at the level of 16408,54 points. In turn, the Nasdaq Composite index grew by 0,23% to the level of 4095,52 points, and the S&P 500 added 0,14% and reached a level of 1864,85 points.

European stock markets were also boosted by positive statistics from the U.S. and decisions taken in relation to Ukraine. From the statistics in the region, it is possible to note the dynamics of the price index of producers of Germany for March, which decreased by 0,3% on a monthly expression, and 0,9% on an yearly expression, whereas analysts predicted zero change in the monthly calculation and a decrease of 0,7% based over a year.

Following the results of the trading session, the British FTSE 100 added 0,62%, the French CAC 40 grew by 0,59%, and the German DAX went to plus on 0,99%. The regional STXE 600 indicator increased, in turn, by 0,5% and was closed on the level of 332,43 points.

The Conflict Concerning Ukraine Is Again Under The Spotlight

Yesterday, stock markets managed to have another positive trading session, which gave indices ground for an increase, even though the published macroeconomic statistical data was not really positive. Building permits dropped from the level of last month to 0,990 million and appeared to be lower than predictions of 1,008 million. The Capacity Utilization Rate, in turn, showed an increase, when analytics expected a decrease, and it finally made 79,2%. Industrial Production dropped from the level of last month, but appeared to be better than predictions making 0,7%.

Also, a positive attitude was brought to the markets by the speech from the head of the FED. During the speech in the economic club of New York, Janet Yellen declared that the FED intends to carry out monetary support for a rather long period of time, in order to promote a smooth economic recovery.

As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index grew by 1% to the level of 16424, 85 points, the S&P 500 added 1,05% and reached a level of 1862,31 points, and the Nasdaq Composite increased by 1,29% and is now traded on the level of 4086,22 points.

Attention should also be paid to the growth of prices of oil. The difficult, semi-military situation around the conflict between Ukraine and Russia pushed prices of oil to go up. Kiev accuses Moscow of attempts of destabilization of the internal political processes in the country. In turn, NATO declared their intention to strengthen the military presence in Eastern Europe. As a result of all these speculations, the price of Brent flew up on Wednesday to $110,00 per barrel, traded this morning on the level of $109,77 per barrel, and adding 0,16%. WTI reached yesterday's price of $105,00 per barrel, traded this morning on the price of $103,20 per barrel, and is currently adding 0,17%.

Prices of precious metals are, in turn, losing in value. Gold is falling by 0,38% and is traded on the level of $1298,61 per troy ounce, silver is down 0,45%, and bargaining at the level of $19,55 per troy ounce.

Negative Moods Prevail In The Markets

Friday's trading session continued the correction which began on Thursday, and indices closed the trading week mainly in the red zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0,89% and was closed on the level of 16026,75 points, the S&P 500 decreased by 0,95% to the level of 1815,69 points, and Nasdaq Composite lost 0,34%, falling to the level of 3999,73 points.

The question in relation to the current situation in Ukraine is again under investors attention, and is resulting in nervousness on the markets. Over the weekend, the situation did not change and the present authorities of the country are ready to perform a full-scale military operation on the suppression of the restless regions in the southeast of the country. A special session of the UN Security Council, called at the initiative of the Russian Federation, did not bring any positive results as the participants could not come to an agreement.

As a result, prices of oil are continuing to grow this morning, adding 0,85% on Brent, and 0,81% on WTI, traded on $108,31 and $103,45 per barrel accordingly. Precious metals are also traded positively, gold adds 0,59% traded on a level of $1326,74 per troy ounce, and silver is growing by 0,54% bargaining next to the level of $20,05 per troy ounce.

One more interesting event which occurred over the weekend was the meeting of the head of the ECB, Mario Draghi, and governing bodies of the IMF and WB, which took place on Saturday. The main subject that was discussed was the risk of a deflation in the EU, mainly due to the growth of the exchange rate of the Euro. It was declared that in order to decrease that, changes in monetary policy of the regulator will be required.

Thus, verbal interventions which are urged to contain the Euro's growth still continue, but, of course, if the currency pair will reach the level of 1,40, a decrease in interest rates in the region will be inevitable. As a result of this information, the EUR/USD currency pair has opened the trading week with a gap down, and at this moment is traded on the level of 1,3851.

The Stock Market Of The U.S. Outlined The Correction

There is an impression that the markets are moving up and down, without having the opportunity to decide on a further direction. One day, indices are growing, another day, they are decreasing, thereby leveling all growth of the previous sessions.

Yesterday, the European indices finished the trading day in different directions. At the beginning of the trading session, investors won due to positive news from the USA. After that, some of the indices began to fall, due to the fact that there was not a lot of macroeconomic statistical data published. As a result, the index of the London stock exchange, the FTSE 100, grew by 0,1%, the index of the Parisian stock exchange, the CAC 40, lost 0,66%, and the index of the Frankfurt stock exchange, DAX, decreased by 0,55%.

A pessimistic mood began in Europe and was followed by American indices. We saw a substantial increase in the price of indices on Wednesday, but it seems that after that, stock markets decided to have a correction. A push factor was the statistical data on export and import in China, which appeared to be extremely lower than the predictions of analysts. Import of the country made a number of minus 11,3%, at an expected growth of 2,4%. Export appeared to be minus 6,6% at the expected 4,0%.

However, the statistical data coming from the U.S. was of a positive character, but indices could not find strength to move up. The number of primary requests for unemployment benefits in a week, appeared to be slightly less than expectations on 320 thousand, and made a number of 300 thousand. As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index fell by 1,62% to the level of 16170,22 points, the S&P 500 lost 2,09% and reached a level of 1833,08 points, and the Nasdaq Composite had the biggest loss of the day and decreased by 3,1% to the level of 4054,11 points.

Prices of commodities are stable. Brent and WTI are losing 0,26% and 0,30%, traded on levels of $107,24 and $102,07 per barrel. Gold is flat, traded on a price of $1320,86 per troy ounce. Silver is down by 0,24% at $20,04 per troy ounce.

Markets Underwent Massive Sales

On Monday, the American stock market had another losing trading session, and closed with a substantial fall in the major indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 1,02% to the level of 16245,87 points, Standard & Poor's 500 lost 1,08% and was closed on the level of 1845,04 points, and the index of high-tech companies, Nasdaq Composite, was down by 1,16% and reached the level of 4079,75 points.

For a long time now, analysts have been discussing the correction in the American stock market. This time, the push factor could be the upcoming reporting season, which will start in America at the end of this week. According to predictions and different estimates, reporting for the first quarter will be weaker than for the last, and in general the reporting season will be the weakest in the past two years.

The point is that we have witnessed for more than one quarter, a fall in revenue growth of the companies, but U.S. indices have continued to show growth and are updating annual and historical highs. Now, it is clearly visible that the discrepancy among the yield growth of the companies and the dynamics of the growth of the stock market indices, have reached unrealistically large quantities. So, in general, the correction in the American stock market is obviously required, because to inflate the bubble continuously is impossible.

The European trading session was also very disappointing and indices finished the day in the red zone. The British index, FTSE 100, lost 1,1%, France's CAC 40 decreased by 1,1% and Germany's DAX went down by 1,9%. The Regional indicator STXE 600, in turn, decreased by 1,2% and was closed on the level of 334,96 points. Today’s trading session is also going towards the negative territory - DAX is losing 0,73%, FTSE 100 is decreasing by 0,72% and CAC 40 is falling for 0,60% currently.

Prices of commodities are recovering slightly from the levels reached yesterday, Brent and WTI are increasing by 0,47% and 0,67% and are traded on prices of $106,31 and $100,45 per barrel. Gold and silver are up by 1,04% and 0,90%, traded on prices of $1311,83 and $20,09 perr troy ounce.

The European indices seems more confident than the American ones



The situation in the stock markets is developing quite ambiguously. Opposition between Russia, the US, and Europe, still puts pressure upon the markets. Additionally, published statistical data didn't show uniform dynamics. Moreover, European leaders already began to manipulate information to put pressure upon the European currency and to contain its further growth.

Yesterday, the stock market of the United States finished the trading session with a moderate decrease. Orders for goods of long use in February increased by 2,2%, which appeared to be significantly higher than forecasts, which assumed a growth of only 1%. At the same time, January’s indicator was reconsidered towards a fall from minus 1,0% to minus 1,3%.

The fall of the indices was also promoted by the statements of the U.S. President in Brussels. Obama stated that the actions of Russia deserve general condemnation, and that the situation in Ukraine could become worse. As a result, the indicator of blue chips, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, went down by 0,60% to the level of 16268,99 points, the index of the wide market, Standard & Poor's 500, decreased by 0,70% and reached a level of 1852,56 points, and the index of high-tech industries, Nasdaq Composite, went to a minus by 1,43% and dropped down to the level of 4173,58 points.

The European trading session, which took place before the American one, was much more successful. The British FTSE 100 rose by 0,01%, the French CAC 40 increased by 0,94%, and the German DAX went into plus on 1,18%. The regional STXE 600 indicator increased, in turn, by 0,7% and was closed on a level of 330,93 points.

American session continues fall of the European indexes and the indicator of blue chips, Dow Jones Industrial Average went down on 0,16% up to the level of 16276,69 points, the index of the wide market Standard & Poor's 500 decreased by 0,49% and reached level of 1857,44 points, and the index of high-tech industries of Nasdaq Composite went to a minus on 1,18% and reached a level of 4226,39 points.

The First Sanctions Against Russia Have Only Political Character

The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has signed the decree regarding the recognition of the Republic of Crimea. This news is not really positive for world platforms, but didn't affect the markets very negatively after all, as sanctions taken by various countries were rather soft. During the meeting that took place yesterday, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the European Union introduced visa and financial restrictions for 13 Russian, and 8 Crimean officials.

In turn, the situation on the American platforms was also supported by the publication of strong statistics on industrial production in the country, which, in February, grew by 0,6% showing the maximum growth in six months. The restoration of economic activity of the USA after the cold winter brings optimism and inspires investors. The Dow Jones index grew by 1,13% to the level of 16247,22 points, NASDAQ added 0,81% and reached a level of 4279,95 points, and S&P 500 appeared in the plus by 0,96% finishing the trading day on the level of 1858,83 points.

The stock exchanges of the Asian Pacific Region are also bargaining in the green zone this morning, mainly due to the news of the soft sanctions taken against Russia by the EU and the USA. The Japanese Nikkei index grew by 0,94% so far, the Chinese Shanghai Composite by 0,08%, the Korean KOSPI added 0,91%, and the Hong Kong HANG SENG appeared in the plus by 0,48%.

Stabilization of the geopolitical situation affected the commodities market and is pushing the price of commodities to go down. Brent adds 0,24% and dropped to the level of 106,50$ per barrel, and WTI is increasing by 0,14% and is traded on a level of 97,76$ per barrel. Gold and silver are losing 0,87% and 1,03% accordingly, traded on prices of 1361,00$ and 21,06$ per troy ounce.

Now, the main question remains to be the risk of escalation of the situation in other territories of Ukraine. The insignificance of the sanctions declared yesterday by the US and the European Union could either testify to their unwillingness to break economic relations with Russia, or could be reflecting the sluggishness of the western bureaucracy.

The Majority Of The Population Of Crimea Voted For Accession To Russia

The question concerning Crimea still remains on the agenda. According to the preliminary results of the referendum, which already passed in Crimea, nearly 96% of the voters who took part in the plebiscite about the status of Crimea, voted for entry of an autonomy within the structure of Russia. However, official authorities of Ukraine, and also leaders of many foreign states, (OSCE and other international organizations) are considering that the referendum has gone against the constitution of the country. However, Russia considers it legitimate.

On the eve of this referendum, the key stock indices of Europe finished the trading session in the red zone. Following the results of the trading session on Friday, the key index of Great Britain, FTSE 100, went down by 0,4%. The French CAC 40 lost 0,8% and the German DAX went to plus by 0,43%.

The Negative Statistics And Nervousness Concerning Ukraine, Still Presses On The Markets

The markets seem to be stiffened with expectations or fears due to the pressure from various events, and seem unable to find the opportunity to find ground for movement in one direction or another. The Ukrainian factor still puts pressure upon world platforms. Victor Yanukovych speech, which took place yesterday, did not become a sensation, but, at the same time, did not minimize uncertainty in the markets. The international disputes on the legitimacy of occurring events remain in the spotlight. In the meantime, the process of separation of Crimea continues to develop. Yesterday, the Supreme Council of the autonomy adopted the declaration of independence of the republic.

Published macroeconomic statistics in the Eurozone also disappointed investors. Growth of industrial production of Great Britain in January made 0.1% for the month and 2,9% for the year, when analysts were predicting 0,2% and 3,0% respectively. At the same time, the surplus of the trade balance of Germany was reduced in January from 18,3 billion euro a month earlier, to 17,2 billion euro, which was worse than market expectations of 17,7 billion euro.

As a result, the trading session in Europe finished with the British FTSE 100 falling by 0,06%, the French CAC 40 by 0,48%, and the German DAX increasing by 0,46%. The regional STXE 600 indicator increased, in turn, by less than 0,1%, having closed on a mark of 337,28 points.

The attention of investors was also drawn towards the statistics from China, where the export in the country was reduced in February by 18%, which warmed up fears concerning the rates of its economic growth. This news pushed the American indices to go down, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average index weakened by 0,41%, closing on a level of 16351,25 points. The index of the wide market, S&P 500, went to a minus by 0,51% to the level of 1867,63 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, fell by 0,63% to a level of 4307,19 points.

Reuters reports that the Chinese Central Bank could, for the first time since 2012, reduce norms of reservation for banks, if rates of economic growth will fall lower than 7,5%. The following big block of statistics from China is expected tomorrow - data on retails and industrial production for February.

The Positive Statistics From The Labor Market Supported The Markets

On the last day of the first trading week of the month, as always, it was marked with the publication of one of the most important macroeconomic statistical reports of the United States - data on the labor market from the Ministry of Labor of the USA, as well as the change of employment in the non-agricultural sector of the country.

The published data appeared to be better than expectations of 151 thousand, making 175 thousand. According to experts, labor employment in February could've proceeded more actively if not for the extreme weather conditions in many states of the country, which saw people spending twice as much time in order to get to work, and experiencing serious transport difficulties. Thus, there is hope that the decrease in the indicator had a seasonal nature, and the situation in the sector will continue to stabilize. In the meantime, unemployment rate grew to 6.7% from 6.6% in January.

As a result, the Dow Jones industrial average index raised by 0.19% to the level of 16452.72 points, and the increase over the week made 0.8%. The Standard & Poor's 500 index raised by just 0.05%, having closed at the level of 1878.04 points, and gained 1.0% throughout the week. The Nasdaq Composite index decreased by 0.37% to the value of 4336.22 points, having added 0.7% within the week.

Commodities opened the trading week in the red zone. Gold was also falling in price on Friday, as positive data on employment, most likely, will give the FED grounds to reduce the QE-3 program once again, at the same volume at the following meeting. Even gold gained 1.3% for the last week, and this morning the price of the precious metal is falling by 0.50% and is traded on a level of 1331.58$ per troy ounce. Silver is losing even more – 1.14%, bargaining next to the level of 20.69$ per troy ounce.

Brent and WTI are losing 0.96% and 1.28% accordingly, traded on prices of 107.42$ and 100.69$ per barrel.

Following the results of the trading session, the indicator of blue chips, Dow Jones Industrial Average, went down by 0.22% to the level of 16360.18 points, the index of the wide market, Standard&Poor's 500, decreased by just 0.01% reaching a level of 1873.81 points, and the index of high-tech industries, Nasdaq Composite, went to plus on 0.14% and reached the level of 4357.97 points.

Markets Are Consolidating At The Levels Reached

We have seen rather positive reports from the Eurozone and different European countries during the last few weeks, but data which was presented yesterday was disappointing. PMI of the Eurozone in the services sector made 51.7 points against the forecasted 51.9 points, and the index in the manufacturing industry decreased from 54.2 points to 53.

This had an immediate effect on the positions of the EUR/USD, which, from the maximum level of 1.3762, rolled down to the area of 1.3690, and this morning is traded around 1.37. Indices in the meantime, finished the trading session with an increase. The index of Great Britain, FTSE 100, increased by 0.2%, the French CAC 40 became 0.3% heavier, and the German DAX went to a minus by 0.4%. The regional STXE 600 indicator, in turn, decreased by less than 0.1% and was closed on a level of 334.78 points.

The American stock market again managed to find reasons for growth, finishing yesterday’s trading session with a moderate increase. This was mainly due to some positive statistics and corporate events. According to preliminary data of PMI from Markit Economics, the American industry grew in February, and the index raised to 56.7 from the 53.7 last month, and on the labor market, the number of primary requests for unemployment benefits decreased to 336 thousand, from 339 thousand.

Additionally, support was brought by the news from the corporate segment, where Facebook announced it's purchase of the messenger 'WhatsApp' for 19 billion dollars. In comparison, some time ago Facebook bought Instagram for just 1 billion dollars, so this time the company paid an extreme amount money, and obviously must have some really serious reasons for that!

As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index increased by 0.58% to the level of 16133,23 points, the index of the wide market S&P 500 added 0.60% reaching the level of 1839.78 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, grew by 0.70% to the level of 4267.55 points.

Markets Seem To Be Unable To Decide On The Direction

Yesterday, the stock market of the United States finished the trading session with a moderate decrease. The American indices were not strong enough to beat historical maximum levels, even though a day earlier the S&P 500 stopped literally 1 point from the record.

Another disappointing factor was the macroeconomic statistical data published yesterday. The number of new constructions of houses in January, from the reconsidered 1.048 million, unexpectedly dropped to 0.88 million, and in general, all the published data in relation to new constructions has been rather weak. It should be noted that for the last few weeks in the US, almost every presented report has been rather disappointing, but mostly it was written off for weather, or in general was ignored by the market.

Also yesterday, investors finally got the chance to see the minutes of the last meeting of the FED, where it was stated that members of the committee on the open markets consider that the program of quantitative mitigation could be continued to be deducted, in the situation the committee will not begin to see any notable changes. In general, the minutes did not bring anything unexpected or new.

As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average went down by 0.56% to the level of 16040.56 points, the index of the wide market S&P 500 decreased by 0.65% to the level of 1828.75 points, and the Nasdaq Composite went to a minus by 0.82% and reached the level of 4237.95 points.

Commodities this morning are slightly down, but the situation remains stable. WTI managed to increase in price yesterday by 0.9%, to the level of 103.31$ per barrel but this morning has fallen slightly, bargaining next to the level of 102.61$ per barrel. Gold and silver are losing 0.53% and 1.33% accordingly, traded on levels of 1313.42$ and 21.56$ per troy ounce.

Today we expect a rather quiet trading session, as there are not many important economic reports expected during the day. One of the most important events this week is going to be the press-conference of the new head of the FED, Janet Yellen. Undoubtedly, she will be asked questions concerning the plans of the FED in relation to the target levels of the labor market. Besides that, the publication of the report on retails is another important event of the current week.

ECB Keeps Its Soft Stimulation Of The Economy

This morning, positive external background remains in the markets. Among the main factors pushing indices to move up, is the preservation of soft stimulating policy in the Eurozone and expectation of data on the level of Private Non-farm Payrolls and unemployment rate in the USA for December, which will be published in the second part of the day.

Yesterday, the European Central Bank declared preservation of the interest rate at the former level of 0.25%. At a traditional press conference, the president of ECB, Mario Dragi, confirmed that the bank will start to take measures only if forecasts on inflation will start to become worse, and turbulence of the currency market will increase. Inflation in the Eurozone was unexpectedly slowed down to 0.7% per annum following the results of December, which became its lowest value since 2009.

Published macroeconomic data in the U. S. yesterday was also rather positive, primary jobless claims made 331 thousand when what was expected was 335 thousands, decreasing by 20 thousand from last month. Non-farm Productivity made 3.2%, 2.5% was expected.

This helped American indices to close the trading session in a green zone. The Dow Jones industrial average index increased by 1.22% reaching the level of 15628.53, S&P 500 increased by 1.24% to the level of 1773.43 points, and Nasdaq Composite added 1.14% in value, finishing the trading session on a level of 4057.12 points.

At the same time, the head of the FED of Chicago, Charles Evans, declared that an increase of interest rate could be possible, but only in the long-term, and monetary policy will remain to be soft until the FED is sure that all necessary measures have been taken for achievement of maximum employment and price stability.
