After a long period of disappointing data from America, yesterday the statistics were finally able to please the participants of the market, which supported positions of the dollar (which had been considerably weakened in relation to all main currencies in the past several weeks).
Accordingly to the data published yesterday, sales of new houses in January reached the maximum level since July, 2008 - 0.468 million, whereas analysts predicted an increase up to only 0.4 million. At the same time,the December value of the indicator was reconsidered from 0.414 million to 0.427 million.
It also should be noted that yesterday investors could've followed speeches of the head of the FED of Dallas, Richard Fischer, and the head of the FED of Boston, Eric Rosengren. In particular, Fischer hopes that the FED will continue turning of the program of purchase of assets on $10 billion monthly, even in the case of an essential correction in the stock market. Meanwhile, Eric Rosengren, who is against further cuts of the QE3 program, declared that there is remaining weakness on the labor market, and also the weather factor influenced the deterioration of the latest economic data, which demands the continuation of aggressive stimulation of the national economy.
All these factors have been having a short term effect on the markets, and as a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index rose by 0.12% and was closed on a level of 16 198.41 points, the S&P 500 went to plus by 0.01% to the level of 1845.16 points, and the index of the hi-tech companies, Nasdaq, increased by 0.10% to the level of 4292.06 points.

Silver and gold are also a bit weaker, falling down by 0.16% and 0.35% accordingly. Gold is on a price of 1325.83$ per troy ounce, silver is on the level of 21.18$ per troy ounce.
