    Major US stock indexes finished trading with an increase

    Major stock indices closed above zero, supported by data on the US labor market. Thus, the number of Americans applying for first time unemployment benefits rose slightly last week after touching a 15-year low, but the rate remains at the level of the economy, consistently adding jobs. Primary applications for unemployment benefits, the gauge of layoffs throughout the US economy increased by 3000 and reached a seasonally adjusted 265,000 in the week ended May 2nd. Economists expected 280,000 initial claims last week.

    The market's attention is directed to Takeo April data on unemployment in the US, which will be released on Friday. According to experts, the number of jobs in the US economy in the past month increased by 224 ths., And the unemployment rate fell to 5.4% from 5.5%.

    "The signals that market participants have seen in the past few days have been different directions, - said the chief investment officer at Philadelphia Trust Co. Richard Sishel. - Recent statistical data proved to be rather disappointing, so the performance of the labor market, which will be released on Friday, are worthy of attention more than usual. "

    Oil prices fell moderately, while dropping below $ 66 (Brent) and $ 59 (WTI), which is due to profit-taking after the recent increase to the maximum this year, and the strengthening of the US dollar. In the course of yesterday's trading continues to affect data on oil reserves in the United States. Recall the week April 25 - May 1 volume of commercial oil stocks in the United States fell by 3.9 million barrels to 487 million barrels per day. Analysts had expected growth of reserves by 1.1 million barrels per day.

    Most components of the index DOW closed in positive territory (24 of 30). Outsider shares were Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, -0.82%). More rest up shares The Home Depot, Inc. (HD, + 1.71%).

    Almost all sectors of the S & P finished trading above zero. Most of the services sector grew (+ 0.8%). Outsiders were the basic materials sector (-1.2%).

    American focus: the euro fell against the US dollar

    The euro depreciated significantly against the dollar, falling below $ 1.1300, which was associated with the publication of a report on the number of initial applications for unemployment insurance in the United States. Ministry of Labor announced initial applications for unemployment benefits rose by 3,000 and reached a seasonally adjusted 265,000 in the week ended May 2nd. Economists expected 280,000 initial claims. The level of applications in the previous week has not been revised and remained at around 262,000 - the lowest since 2000. The moving average for the four weeks of initial claims fell by 4,250 last week to 279 500. The Labor Department said that no special factors did not affect the latest data. A report on Thursday showed that the number of repeat applications for unemployment benefits fell by 28,000 to 2.23 million in the week ended April 25 was the lowest level since November 2000.

    Meanwhile, reports that next Monday Greece is unlikely to enter into an agreement with the EU, also pressured the single currency. EU Head Deysselblum said today that next Monday, Greece will likely not be agreed, adding that in the case of liquidity problems the country may face difficulties in complying with the deadlines. "From a political point of view, the only deadline is the end of June, when the end of the second term of the assistance program. However, there may be other deadlines - in case if Athens will mature liquidity problems, "- he said.


    The pound traded in a narrow range against the US dollar on a background of ongoing general elections in the UK. They are considered the most unpredictable for many years. The first exit poll data will be available 21.00 GMT. During the last two elections, the results of such polls accurately predicted the results of the elections, so we should expect the pound fluctuations in response to any unexpected information obtained on the basis of surveys of voters. According to forecasts, the Conservatives need to get around 281 seats in parliament, Labour - 266 Liberal Democrats - 27, the Scottish National Party - 51, and the United Kingdom Independence Party - 1 seat. Higher rates Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats, who will bring them to obtain an absolute majority, probably led to a sharp increase in the pound. Increasing the number of votes cast in the Labour Party seems to have a negative impact on the pound, if it does not happen at the expense of the votes cast of the Scottish National Party, as in this case, the impact on the pound will not.


    The dollar rose against the yen significantly, restoring all the lost positions yesterday. The US currency was supported by a report on applications for unemployment benefits. In addition, market participants are waiting for Friday's release of data on the US labor market. Economists forecast that employment will increase by 224,000 and the unemployment rate fell to 5.4% from 5.5%. If job growth does not accelerate, it could be a problem for Fed policy. Recall the recent series of disappointing US economic data undermined optimism about the economic recovery, prompting investors to reconsider the initial expectations of the Fed raising interest rates at the end of the year instead of the middle. Meanwhile, today the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Charles Evans said the Fed could raise rates at any meeting of the Fed, but added that the start of tightening in 2016 will be better coordinated with the picture of inflation. The politician also added that he expects a rebound after the economic slowdown in the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter, it expects to see economic growth of 3%.

    The Atlanta Federal Reserve bank President Dennis Lockhart said on Wednesday that he thinks the interest rate hike in the middle of the year will be appropriate. But interest rates could be hiked at each monetary policy meeting, he added.

    The Atlanta Federal Reserve bank president pointed out that the April labour market data will be very important to gauge economic momentum in the second quarter.

    France's trade deficit widens to €4.575 billion in March

    According to the French Customs, France's trade deficit widened to €4.575 billion in March from €3.623 billion in February.

    February's figure was revised down from a deficit of €3.4 billion.

    The increase of a deficit was driven by energy imports and lower aerospace exports.

    Imports rose due to strong recovery in energy and due to strong demand for automobiles, capital goods and intermediate goods, while exports increased due to higher sales of automotive, pharmaceuticals, metals and electrical and electronic equipment.

    March's figure was revised up from a rise by 37,700.

    The decline in employment was driven by declines in full-time employment for males, which fell by 47,900, and part-time employment for females, which decreased by 10,700.

    01:30 Australia Unemployment rate April 6.1% 6.2% 6.2%


    The pound was little changed before U.K. elections on Thursday and Australia's dollar rose after the nation's unemployment rate remained below its peak.

    The dollar was less than 0.4 percent from a three-month low amid concern a U.S. payroll report on Friday will add to signs the world's biggest economy is slowing. A gauge of the greenback is set for a four-week decline, its worst losing streak since 2013, as investors wait for more clues on the U.S. economy's direction and the Fed's ability to raise interest rates this year.
