    The main US stock indexes finished trading mostly in positive territory

    Stock indexes Nasdaq and S & P finished the session near the zero mark, while Dow for the first time in history overcame the level of 22,000 against the backdrop of Apple's good results.

    The profit of Apple (AAPL) for the third quarter of 2017 fiscal year (FY) reached $ 1.67 per share (versus $ 1.42 in the third quarter of 2016 FY), which was above the average forecast of analysts at $ 1.57. Quarterly revenue of the company was $ 45.408 billion (+ 7.2% y / y), while the average forecast of analysts was $ 44.939 billion. The company said that in the fourth quarter they expect to receive revenues of $ 49-52 billion against the average forecast of analysts $ 49.23 billion. And the gross margin at 37.5-38.0% against the average forecast of analysts 38.2% and 38% recorded a year earlier.

    A certain influence on the dynamics of trading was provided by statistics on the United States. The business activity in New York improved noticeably last month, surpassing analysts' forecasts, and reaching its highest level since December 2016. The index, which measures the economic conditions in the manufacturing and services sectors for companies registered in New York, rose in July to 62.8 points from 55.5 points in May. Economists predicted that the index will drop to 53.1 points.

    Oil has risen by about 1%, supported by data on oil stocks in the US and the widespread weakening of the US currency. The US Energy Ministry reported that crude oil stocks fell again, but less than expected. However, the data also indicated another drop in gasoline and distillate stocks. According to the report, in the week of July 22-28, oil reserves fell by 1.527 million barrels to 481.888 million barrels. The reduction was expected at 2.8 million barrels.

    Most components of the DOW index recorded a decline (18 out of 30). Outsider were shares of The Walt Disney Company (DIS, -1.89%). Leader of growth were shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL, + 5.21%).

    Most sectors of the S & P index finished trading in the red. The greatest decline was shown by the sector of conglomerates (-1.2%). The consumer goods sector grew most (+ 0.7%).

    US private sector employment increases less than expected in July

    The employment report prepared by Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) and Moody's Analytics showed the U.S. private employers added 178,000 jobs in July. Economists had expected a gain of 185,000. The increase for June was revised up to 191,000 from 158,000.

    "Job gains continued to be strong in the month of July," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "However, as the labor market tightens employers may find it more difficult to recruit qualified workers," he added.

    Meanwhile, Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, said, "The American job machine continues to operate in high gear. Job gains are broad-based across industries and company sizes, with only manufacturers reducing their payrolls. At this pace of job growth, unemployment will continue to quickly decline."

    Company News: Apple (AAPL) quarterly results beat analysts’ expectations

    The company's quarterly revenues amounted to $45.408 bln (+7.2% y/y), beating analysts' consensus estimate of $44.939 bln.

    AAPL rose to $158.31 (+5.50%) in pre-market trading.

    Eurozone producer price inflation slows in June

    Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union (EU) reported that industrial producer prices in the Eurozone fell by 0.1 percent m-o-m in June, following a revised 0.3 decrease m-o-m in May (originally a 0.4 percent m-o-m drop).

    In y-o-y terms, industrial producer prices rose by 2.5 percent, following a revised 3.4 percent increase in May (originally a 3.3 percent gain). The figure was the lowest this year.

    Economists had forecast the Eurozone's industrial producer prices in June would fall 0.1 percent m-o-m but raise 2.4 percent y-o-y.

    According to the report, the June decrease in industrial producer prices was due to falls in prices in the energy sector (-0.3 percent m-o-m) and for intermediate goods (-0.2 percent m-o-m). These declines were partially offset by higher prices for capital goods (+0.1 percent m-o-m) and non-durable consumer goods (+0.2 percent m-o-m). Elsewhere, prices for durable consumer goods were stable.

    The annual growth in industrial producer prices was underpinned by increases in prices in all groups. The prices for intermediate goods (+2.9 percent y-o-y) and in the energy sector (+2.9 percent y-o-y) recorded the biggest gains, followed by prices for non-durable consumer goods (+2.5 percent y-o-y), for capital goods (+0.9 percent y-o-y) and for durable consumer goods (+0.6 percent y-o-y).

    Swiss manufacturing PMI rises more than estimated in July

    The Schweizerischer Verband für Materialwirtschaft und Einkauf (SVME) reported its Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) for Swiss manufacturing sector rose to 60.9 in July from 60.1 in June. That was the highest reading since February of 2011 and exceeded economists' forecast of 58.9. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector, while a reading below 50 shows contraction.

    According to the report, the July improvement was primarily attributable to a boost in order books. The corresponding subcomponent - "the order backlog" - climbed from 59.9 points in June to 65.2 points in July. A similar score was seen in 2010. Such sub-components as production (+0.4 to 63.8), purchasing volume (+3.4 to 63.1), stocks purchased (+2.2 to 50.3) and purchasing prices (+0.7 to 55) also rose last month, while delivery times (-2.3 to 63) employment (-3.5 to 54.6) declined.

    UK construction PMI falls more than expected in July

    The report from IHS Markit and Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) showed that activity in the construction sector of the UK's economy eases to an 11-month low in July.

    According to the report, the Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the UK's construction sector fell to 51.9 in July from an unrevised 54.8 in June. That marked the weakest construction performance since August 2016. Economists had forecast the indicator to slide down to 54.5. The 50 mark divides contraction and expansion.

    According to the report, July's growth slowdown in construction sector reflected lower volumes of commercial building and a softer expansion of housing activity. The survey also revealed a reduction in new business volumes for the first time since August 2016, leading to softer job creation in the period. At the same time, intense supply chain pressures continued last month and prices for construction materials boosted at one of the sharpest rates since the first half of 2011.

    Swiss retail sales rise in June

    The Swiss Federal Statistical Office reported that real retail sector rose by 0.8 percent in seasonally adjusted terms in June following a revised 0.5 percent m-o-m gain in May (originally a 0.3 percent m-o-m increase).

    In y-o-y terms, real turnover in the retail sector grew by 1.5 percent in June compared to a revised drop of 0.8 percent in the prior month (originally a 0.3 percent decline). That was the first rise in three months and exceeded economists forecast for 1.3 percent y-o-y surge.

    According to the report, the real, seasonally adjusted retail sector excluding service stations rose 1.4 percent y-o-y in June. The real, seasonally adjusted retail sales of food, drinks and tobacco recorded an increase of 3.1 percent y-o-y, while non-food sector registered only a 0.1 percent uptick in retail sales turnover.

    Swiss consumer confidence improves in July

    The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) reported that consumer sentiment in Switzerland improved again in July.

    According to SECO report, the consumer sentiment index came in at -3 points in the third quarter, up from -8 in the prior quarter and well above the long-term average of -9 points. The reading matched economists forecast.

    The report confirmed the recovery in sentiment from the lows following the sharp rise in the Swiss franc, the SECO said.

    According to the report, consumers' expectations for economic growth and for the job market in July became considerably more optimistic compared to April. The sub-index that measures optimistic regarding the general economic prospects over the coming twelve months climbed from +5 points in April to +16 points in July, while sub-index that tracks unemployment outlook dropped from +48 points to +41 points.

    In contrast, consumers' expectations for their own financial situation and their ability to save money showed no improvement. At -4 points, the sub-index on the anticipated financial situation remained virtually unchanged in July compared to April (-3 points), considerably below its long-term average of +2 points. At the same time, the sub-index on consumers' anticipated opportunities to save came in at +17 compared to +15 in the previous survey and slightly below the average of +21 points. The SECO noted, however, that the situation with these two questions could change if the job market does recover as consumers expect.

    Global Stocks

    Asian equities continued to rise Wednesday, helped by strong results from Apple, though Sydney shares eased as commodities prices pulled back. The stock market in Taiwan, home to a number of Apple's suppliers, was the strongest performer in the region. That market's strength in the past year has been in large part Apple-driven, thanks to the company's results as well as expectations about how its coming iPhone will fare.

    Stocks in Europe gained ground Tuesday, as trading in August kicked off with shares of BP PLC climbing after the oil major's earnings report, and as data showed rising economic growth in the eurozone. The Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, +0.64% tacked on 0.6% to close at 380.26. Energy and industrial stocks led advancers, and the health care sector was the only laggard. The pan-European index on Monday slipped 0.1% to close at its lowest since April.

    The U.S. stock market finished higher Tuesday, with the Dow logging its second straight record and a sixth straight session in positive territory on the back of upbeat earnings, shaking off less-than-stellar reports on manufacturing and inflation. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.33% added 72.80 points, or 0.3%, to finish at an all-time closing high at 21,963.92, marking its 31st record in 2017 and putting the blue-chip gauge within 40 points of a milestone at 22,000. The Dow had touched an intraday all-time high at 21,990.96 before retreating somewhat.
