The three main indices are trading stably without significant movements, despite disappointing macro data published today. The market did not respond sharply to the price index published two days ago and surprised with inflation of 3.2%, compared to the expected 3.1%. Yesterday the indices closed in a mixed trend and today the futures contracts are up by 0.4%.

To remind you, last week the employment market data were also published, which indicate the state of the American economy. The data was a bit confusing for the market – on the one hand the unemployment rate rose to 3.9%, which encourages an interest rate cut, but on the other hand the number of new jobs added was 275 thousand, higher than the expected 198 thousand.

Today’s trading will be conducted between 15:30-22:00 due to the switch to daylight saving time in the USA.
