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.
