Oil prices retreated from session highs on the background of the controversial news flow about the possible freezing of oil production at the end of the month.

Russia and Saudi Arabia, which control the production of more than 21% of world oil, on the margins of the G20 summit in China signed a joint statement in order to stabilize the oil market. Oil prices have soared by more than 5% in anticipation of this event. Thus, the cost of the futures on Brent crude oil rose by 5.4%, to $ 49.15 a barrel.

However, soon after the statement prices retreated from session highs. By 13:00 GMT Brent crude oil traded near $ 47.50 per barrel (+ 1.4%) and WTI futures traded at $ 45.20 (+ 2.3%).

The two world's largest oil producer intend to establish a working group for monitoring the oil market and to make recommendations to ensure its stability. It is expected that in October, Russia and Saudi Arabia to hold the first meeting of the working group on oil and gas cooperation. In addition, the ministers will hold regular meetings on the "margins" of the ministerial meeting of the International Energy Forum (IEF) in Algeria and the November meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Vienna.

"Investors had hoped that Russia and Saudi Arabia will manifest more specific statement on the limitation of production," - said Naeem Aslam of Think Markets.

The cost of the October futures for WTI rose to 46.53 dollars per barrel.

October futures for Brent crude rose to 49.40 dollars a barrel on the London Stock Exchange ICE Futures Europe.

Gold price rose moderately, keeping the position reached last week after the release of weaker-than-expected US labor market data. Such data have weakened the US currency.

On Friday, gold prices rose about 1% after the National Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a lower than expected US employment growth in August.

This week, investors will monitor the statements by John Williams, head of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. On Tuesday will deliver a speech on the state of the US economy in Reno, Nevada.

On Thursday, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will hold a press conference in Frankfurt after a two-day meeting of the Bank dedicated to the issue of monetary policy.

According to CFTC in the week of 24-30 August investment managers reduced net long positions in gold to 3-week low at 238,152.

The cost of the October futures for gold on COMEX rose to $ 1328.7 per ounce.

The afternoon phase of trading traditionally should stand under the sign of entry into the game of American capital. Today we do not observe it, which may cause drift in the markets. In the context of the Warsaw Stock Exchange this would mean maintaining the achievements already gained, which is not small, and certainly stands out from the surrounding.

Today's a day off in the United States in addition to the natural decline in activity has other consequences. We have a completely empty calendar macro in the afternoon, which of course takes out will to play on European markets. The result is that an hour before the close of trading we managed to reach PLN 200 million of turnover in the first line of companies.

"We think the European Central Bank (ECB) will announce a lengthening of its asset purchase programme for at least six months, in tandem with the publication of its new economic projections, at its policy meeting next Thursday (8 September). Such an announcement is likely to be supportive of a grind lower in the EUR broadly and, if combined with the market increasing pricing for a September Fed hike, consistent with EURUSD falling towards our end-Q3 target of 1.07.

We are not expecting any surprise easing announcements from the Reserve Bank of Australia (6 September) or the Bank of Canada (7 September).

We think the AUD and CAD will be driven lower by external factors, as the adjustment higher in Fed tightening expectations challenges the risk environment.

We continue to favour positioning for AUDUSD downside through options in our portfolio of recommendations, and target a move to 0.70 in the coming months. With WTI prices falling to USD 45/bbl in the past week, in line with our commodity strategy team's forecasts, we also see the CAD at risk and continue to target a rise in USDCAD to 1.40 by the year end".

The British pound rose to a high of seven weeks on positive data on activity in the country's services sector. The British pound also rose on Thursday last week, as the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector also exceeded expectations.

The data published by Markit Economics, showed that activity in the UK's services sector has increased significantly by the end of August, which is another evidence of economic recovery after the shock caused by the decision to leave the European Union.

According to the report, the purchasing managers index (PMI) for the services sector rose in August to 52.9 points versus 47.4 points in July (seven years low), recording the biggest monthly increase in 20 years. Analysts had expected the index to improve to 50.0 points. Recall a value above 50 indicates expansion of activity in the sector.

The return to growth in most of the economy is likely to reinforce speculation that the Bank of England will refrain from launching further stimulus measures this year. Markit believe that "the inevitable downturn will be avoid," but urged caution because the data point to stagnation in the quarter, and many companies are still concerned about the prospects. "It's too early to say that the rise in August is the beginning of a long period of recovery after the shock," - said Chris Williamson, economist at Markit. - But there is a lot of evidence that the initial shock of the vote in June began to dissipate The pound broke August 4 high.

After Brexit investors have begun to actively sell the pound, because it was believed that this decision will put pressure on the economy.

Euro moderately weakened against the US dollar amid mixed data on the index of business activity in the services sector of the eurozone countries, and strong data on investor confidence and retail sales.

Economics reported that the eurozone economy continued to expand in August, but the pace of growth slowed to a 19-month low, which was mainly due to the weaker expansion in Germany. According to the data, the index of business activity in the services sector fell to 52.8 points from 52.9 points in July. Previously it was reported that the index improved to 53.1 points. Analysts predicted that the figure will be 53.1 points. The final composite PMI index fell in August to 52.9 points from 53.2 points in July.

Meanwhile, the results of a survey presented by research group Sentix, showed that investor sentiment in the euro area improved significantly in September, registering the second consecutive monthly increase, and reached its highest level in three months. Indicator of investor confidence rose in September to 5.6 points compared with 4.2 points in August. Analysts had expected the index to rise to 5.1 points. The last reading was the highest since June (when the index was 9.9 points). The sub-index of current conditions jumped to 4.5 points from 3.8 points in July, while the expectations index rose to 6.8 points from 4.8 points.

In addition, Eurostat Statistical Office stated that retail sales in the euro zone rose more than expected in July, showing the biggest monthly gain this year. According to the data, seasonally adjusted retail sales increased by 1.1% compared to June, and rose 2.9% on an annualized basis. Analysts had forecast an increase of 0.6% and 1.9% respectively.

The first half of the session was successful both for domestic blue chips, as well as medium-sized companies. Support for the first ones turns out to be PGE, which rate shot up by 5.9 percent after reports from the EGM, where was proposal from Treasury on increasing the value per share from PLN 10 to PLN 10.25. It's a big change from the previous proposal assumes an increase in the share capital of PLN 5.6 billion, which would mean an increase in the nominal value of the shares to PLN 13.00. This should be some support for other energy companies, because of fears about implementation of such a scenario of increase the nominal value of shares also in their case. Among blue chips is also distinguished Orange (WSE: OPL), which gained more than 6 percent.

We also have a very large increases in mining companies - JSW growing by almost 20 percent and Bogdanka (WSE: LWB) almost 8 percent due to the rising price of coal on the spot market.

In the mid-session the WIG20 index was at the level of 1,788 points (+ 1.18%) and with the turnover of PLN 156 million.

European stocks helped by a significant rise in oil prices. In addition, investors expect that central banks will continue accommodative monetary policy.

Certain influence on the dynamics of trade have also had statistical data for the euro area and Britain. Markit Economics reported that the eurozone economy continued to expand in August, but the pace of growth slowed to a 19-month low, which was mainly due to the weaker expansion in Germany. According to the data, the index of business activity in the services sector fell to 52.8 points from 52.9 points in July. Previously it was reported that the index improved to 53.1 points. Analysts predicted that the figure will be 53.1 points. The final composite PMI index fell in August to 52.9 points from 53.2 points in July.

Meanwhile, the results of a survey presented by research group Sentix, showed that investor sentiment in the euro area improved significantly in September, registering the second consecutive monthly increase, and reached its highest level in three months. Indicator of investor confidence rose in September to 5.6 points compared with 4.2 points in August. Analysts had expected the index to rise to 5.1 points. The last reading was the highest since June (when the index was 9.9 points). The sub-index of current conditions jumped to 4.5 points from 3.8 points in July, while the expectations index rose to 6.8 points from 4.8 points.

In addition, Eurostat Statistical Office stated that retail sales in the euro zone rose more than expected in July, showing the biggest monthly gain this year. According to the data, seasonally adjusted retail sales increased by 1.1% compared to June, and rose 2.9% on an annualized basis. Analysts had forecast an increase of 0.6% and 1.9% respectively.

With regard to data on the UK, in the Markit Economics reported that activity in the services sector has increased significantly by the end of August, which is another evidence of economic recovery after the shock caused by the decision to leave the EU. According to the report, the purchasing managers index (PMI) for the services sector rose in August to 52.9 points versus 47.4 points in July (at least seven years), recording the biggest monthly increase in 20-year history of the index. Analysts had expected the index to improve to 50.0 points.

The composite index Stoxx Europe 600 grew by 0.2 percent. Recall, on Friday, the index jumped to its highest level since April after US data signaled a weaker employment growth, reducing the likelihood of a Fed hike in the near future. This week, investors will be focused on the European Central Bank meeting. It is expected that the ECB will leave its monetary policy unchanged, but may hint at expanding bond purchase program.

ArcelorMittal's shares rose 3.4 percent since leaders G20 mentioned the overcapacity in steel production.

Hugo Boss AG shares fell 1.4 percent after UBS Group AG analysts downgraded the company's stock rating to "sell" from "neutral," citing the risk of decline in profits in 2017.

Capitalization of SFR Group SA jumped 6.5 percent amid reports that rival Altice NV agreed to buy the remaining 22 percent stake in the company for 2.4 billion euros. Meanwhile, the cost of Altice NV rose by 1.5 per cent.

At the moment:

FTSE 100 6873.58 -21.02 -0.30%

DAX +26.02 10709.84 + 0.24%

CAC 40 4558.23 +16.06 + 0.35%

Economic expectations for the eurozone continue to improve. The September data of the "first mover" for the euro zone reveals that both the current situation (+4.5) as well as expectations (+6.75) have slightly improved. Consequently, the overall index rises from 4.4 points to 5.6 points. The catch-up process of the emerging market economies overcompensates the heterogeneous developments of the industrialised world regions. Therefore, the global trend points upwards.

In July 2016 compared with June 2016, the seasonally adjusted volume of retail trade rose by 1.1% in the euro area (EA19) and by 1.0% in the EU28, according to estimates from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. In June the retail trade volume decreased by 0.1% in the euro area and by 0.2% in the EU28. In July 2016 compared with July 2015 the calendar adjusted retail sales index increased by 2.9% in the euro area and by 3.5% in the EU28.

Markit says that the UK service sector returned to growth in August, according to PMI® survey data from IHS Markit and CIPS. Following abrupt contractions in output and new business in July linked to disruption related to the outcome of the EU referendum, the latest data signalled a return to growth as companies reported that uncertainty had abated somewhat. Moreover, the forward-looking business expectations index recovered most of the ground lost in July when confidence took a knock from the Brexit vote amid political and economic uncertainty, albeit remaining weak by historical standards.

The latest data also signalled rising inflationary pressure linked to the weak pound. The survey's headline figure is the seasonally adjusted Markit/CIPS UK Services Business Activity Index, a single-figure measure designed to track changes in total UK services activity compared with one month previously. Readings above 50.0 signal growth of activity compared with the previous month, and below 50.0 contraction.

The Business Activity Index rebounded to 52.9 in August, from 47.4 in July, signalling a rise in UK services output. The month-on-month gain in the index, at 5.5 points, was the largest observed over the 20-year survey history, following a record drop of 4.9 points in July. The rate of expansion in the latest period was the fastest since May, but weaker than the long-run survey average.

This morning New York WTI crude oil futures rose by 0.59% to $ 44.41 and crude oil futures for Brent rose by + 0.11% to $ 46.88 per barrel. Thus, the black gold is traded moderately higher in the background of weak US labor market data. Expectations for a Fed hike this month weakened. It was also reported that analysts, for the first time in six monyhs, reduced the forecast for oil prices to 45.44 dollars per barrel. 34 experts surveyed by Reuters lowered the forecast for oil prices to 45 dollars in February 2016 a barrel.

According to markiteconomics, August data pointed to a growth slowdown in Germany's service sector, with new business and activity rising at the weakest rates in more than one and three years, respectively. Moreover, confidence towards the year ahead reached its lowest level since last October. Sharply rising employment levels helped alleviate pressure on operating capacity, with backlogs of work declining for the second month running.

The final seasonally adjusted Markit Germany Services PMI Business Activity Index fell from July's 54.4 to 51.7 in August. Although still signalling growth of output, the rate of expansion was the weakest since mid-2013 and below the long-run series average (53.1). Meanwhile, sector data suggested that activity growth remained particularly strong at Hotels & Restaurants and Financial Intermediation companies, while firms in the Transport & Storage category reported a fall. The slowdown in the service sector impacted overall growth in Germany during August, with the final Markit Germany Composite Output Index - which measures the combined output of the manufacturing and service sectors - falling from July's 55.3 to a 15-month low of 53.3.

The eurozone economy continued to expand at a broadly steady pace in August. The rate of increase edged down to a 19-month low, however, mainly due to a weaker rate of expansion in Germany. The final Markit Eurozone PMI® Composite Output Index posted 52.9 in August, down from 53.2 in July and below the earlier flash estimate of 53.3.

The rate of growth in new order inflows was also the weakest in just over one-and-half years. August data indicated that rates of output expansion ticked lower in both the manufacturing and service sectors. Manufacturing production rose at the slowest pace since May, while the expansion in service sector business activity was the jointweakest since the start of 2015. National PMI data indicated that the slowdown was mainly due to weaker economic growth in Germany, as output in the eurozone's largest nation rose at the slowest pace for 15 months.

The yen strengthened despite the dovish statements by the Bank of Japan. During his speech today the head of the Central Bank, Haruhiko Kuroda said that there is still room for easing monetary policy, and that the negative interest rates introduced in January are starting to have a positive impact. In addition, signaled that the benefits of further policy easing exceed its costs.

The US dollar traded in a narrow range after the publication of US labor market data on Friday. Recall, the Ministry of Labor said that the number of people employed in non-farm payrolls rose by 151,000 after a gain to 275,000 in July. The unemployment rate remained at around 4.9%, as more people entered the labor market. Economists had forecast a rise in the number of employees by 180 000 and the reduction in unemployment to 4.8%. Lowering employment growth came after the economy created a total of 546,000 jobs in June and July. Given the fact that the labor market has almost reached full employment and economic recovery from the recession years of 2007-09, the slowdown in job growth seems normal.

The Australian dollar rose after the publication of positive data on the index of China's service sector business activity and growth in operating profits of Australian companies. The Index of purchasing managers Caixin, published by Markit Economics, which is a leading indicator of China's state sector services in August was 52.1 points higher than the previous value of 51.7 and analysts' expectations of 51.9. Published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics the measure of profit from operations of the companies, in the second quarter grew by 6.6%, after declining by -4.4% in the first quarter. Analysts had expected an increase of 2.0%. This indicator reflects the total amount of pre-tax profits derived from commercial activities, excluding the cost of interest payments on debt and the cost of adjustment.

The cash market (the WIG20 index) opens with an increase of 0.19% to 1,770 points and with the turnover focused on the shares of JSW, which opened highly. It's value does not lose Tauron (WSE: TPE), which looks positive. Surrounded DAX rising by 0.4%.

"We maintain our bullish EUR view. A higher Fed rate would likely support the USD vs. currencies sensitive to front-end rate differentials. Generally, low-yielding currencies fall into this category, but even here differentiation is required. The EUR and CHF should remain supported as both regions have financial institutions with weak balance sheets and so are unable to export sufficient local-currency-denominated long-term capital to compensate for the current account surpluses. Resistance from core EMU countries to more aggressive policies that could push inflation rates higher should keep local real rates high, pushing the EUR and CHF higher against most other currencies

Fiscal policy debate in the Eurozone. The EMU is not leading the debate about policies; instead, it lags. Italy is considering more fiscal spending to deal with the devastating damage to its infrastructure caused the recent earthquake, but that is all we should expect to see. The EMU is not ready to remove the debt brakes implemented in 2009, even if fiscal stimulus could boost the economic outlook. A similar interpretation applies to the inflation target discussion. All in all, the EMU's policy approach will not be progressive enough to sufficiently boost its inflation expectations,allowing its real rate levels to fall to a level that would weaken the currency. Internally, the EMU may find it difficult to boost inflation given the slack within its labor market, its poor corporate profitability and weak financial institution balance sheets preventing credit picking up.

Exhibit 10 shows the weak banking sector share price performance, predicting weaker credit growth within the eurozone. A central-bank induced liquidity impulse will find it difficult to develop multiplying effects, but without improving credit demand inflation is unlikely moving higher. International aspects have stayed deflationary too. Commodity prices have rolled over and China's exchange rate adjusted PPI,now falling at a 7.5%Y rate, does not bode well for the G-7 core inflation outlook.

The EMU's disruptively high real rates could not only undermine fixed asset investment prospects within EMU they may also take the EUR into overvalued territory.

The EUR does not rise due to a better economic outcome within EMU. Instead it may rise due to the lack of capital exports held back by balance sheet constraints of EMU financial institutions and too high real EUR rates allowing the recycling of EMU's current account surplus at current FX levels.

For now, the EUR may punch well above its economic weight. Due to the 'exhausted' position of EMU's yield curve, there is very little the ECB can do to prevent EUR strength".

Today's session due to celebrated in the US Labor Day and the lack of Wall Street should be marked by lower volatility and activity.

Attention of our domestic investors will head out on a Friday decision by Moody's. The institution maintains the current negative outlook for Poland and recent reports indicated that the escalation of the conflict around the Constitutional Tribunal would be a negative factor for the assessment of the investment. In addition, it is worth mentioning Friday's speech of Deputy Prime Minister M. Morawiecki, who said that "Moody's will probably want to carry out the change of Polish rating".

On Friday, after the session, was published strategy of Tauron (WSE: TPE), from which we learn that the company in the long term plans to pay a dividend of at least 40 percent of consolidated net profit, and the first year in which the payout would be possible is 2020 year. This may have an adverse effect on the Company's stock price due to the lack of a dividend in the coming years.

During today's session, there is no more significant macroeconomic publications from the country. From the broad market is worth mentioning the ongoing G20 summit and losing of A. Merkel's party in local municipal elections, which indicates a potential weakening of the position of the chancellor.

The beginning of the new week of trading in the currency market brings an attempt to play a stronger zloty against foreign currency. Polish currency is valued by the market as follows: PLN 4.3560 per euro, PLN 3.9037 against the US dollar. Yields of Polish debt amounts to 2.871% in case of 10-year bonds.

• Don't share view that monetary policy is reaching its limits

• Even within current framework there is ample room for further easing

• First issue to analyze is what factors have hampered achievement of price target

• What we should bear in mind when conducting monetary policy is not its limit but comparison between its benefits and costs

• Negative rates have had impact on mkt liquidity, banks' profits, so need to assess this policy

• Given we have been implementing large-scale monetary easing, any additional easing entails costs

• We should not hesitate to go ahead with monetary easing as long as it's necessary for Japan's economy as a whole

The latest set of Caixin China Composite PMI™ data (which covers both manufacturing and services) pointed to a further rise in Chinese business activity during August, with the rate of expansion little changed from that seen in July. This was shown by the Composite Output Index falling only fractionally from July's 22-month high of 51.9 to 51.8 in August.

A further increase in total business activity was supported by moderate expansions of activity and output across the services and manufacturing sectors in August. The Caixin China General Services Business Activity Index rose from 51.7 to 52.1 in August. Although this showed that the rate of services activity growth picked up slightly from July, it remained moderate overall and slower than the series average. Meanwhile, manufacturers raised output for the second successive month, though the rate of expansion softened since July.

Stocks across Europe on Friday closed at their best level in more than four months, after a lackluster U.S. monthly jobs report dampened expectations for a U. S.interest-rate hike.

U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday, boosted after a weaker-than-expected payroll report was seen as diminishing the likelihood of an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve. The Labor Department said the U.S. economy added 151,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.9%. Those figures were weaker than economists polled by MarketWatch, who had expected 170,000 jobs to be added to the U.S. economy in August, and a broader-market consensus for about 180,000 jobs.

Shares in Asia were broadly higher early Monday, as weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data eased worries over an imminent rate interest increase by the Federal Reserve.
