Yesterday, the American trading session finished on a positive note. Firstly, retails in the USA for December grew by 0.2%, at expectations of an increase of 0.1%.

Obviously, investors did not leave such a positive factor aside.

Statements from the representatives of the FED didn't spoil the mood of investors, and indices continued their growth. The president of the FED of Philadelphia, Charles Plosser, believes that the monetary easing program has to come to an end within the current year, as the economy steadily moves towards restoration.
