    The major US stock indexes finished trading with a slight change

    Major US stock indices closed near the zero mark on Monday, as investors assessed the impact of tropical storm Harvey in the US. The losses of insurance and oil companies were offset by growth in retail chains, healthcare and construction stores.

    In addition, it became known that the deficit of international trade in July was $ 65.1 billion, which is $ 1.1 billion more compared to $ 64.0 billion in June. The export of goods for July was $ 127.1 billion, which is $ 1.6 billion less than in June. Import of goods for July was $ 192.2 billion, which is $ 0.5 billion less than in June.

    However, data provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, showed that in August, the business activity of Texas producers slightly increased, despite the projected decline. According to the report, the Dallas Federal Reserve's production index in August rose to 17.0 points from 16.8 points in July. Analysts had expected a decline to 16.5 points. Recall, the value of the index above zero indicates an increase in business activity. Economists perceive reports of regional federal reserve banks as preliminary data before the publication of the monthly report of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).

    Quotes of oil fell significantly on Monday, the reason for this was a decrease in demand for oil from US refineries, some of which were closed due to hurricane Harvey.

    Most components of the DOW index recorded a decline (16 out of 30). Outsider was the shares of The Travelers Companies, Inc. (TRV, -2.55%). The growth leader was the shares of The Home Depot, Inc. (HD, + 1.18%).

    The sectors of the S & P index showed mixed dynamics. The largest decline was demonstrated by the financial sector (-0.4%). The healthcare sector grew most (+ 0.7%).

    Global Stocks

    European stock markets finished Friday's session by swinging into the red, pulling back as U.S. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen gave nothing away about the path forward for monetary policy in the world's largest economy. The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.12% wrapped up a choppy session by losing 0.1% to 374.07. That move was led by declines for consumer services and telecom shares. But gains for commodity stocks softened a bigger blow for the pan-European benchmark.

    U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday with the main indexes posting solid weekly gains after neither Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen nor European Central Bank President Mario Draghi offered clues about future monetary policy moves in a pair of speeches at a central banker retreat in Wyoming. In speeches at the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank's symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Yellen focused on banking regulations and economic improvements in the U.S., while Draghi raised concerns about protectionism. The gathering of global central bankers will continue through Saturday.

    Asia-Pacific equity markets struggled for direction after U.S. and European central bankers didn't provide fresh policy guidance, though Hong Kong stocks outperformed on strong corporate earnings. Market participants were watching for implications from developments on U.S. tax policy, in addition to Hurricane Harvey's impact on the global energy market. U.S. gasoline futures rose early Monday.
