Alcoa released its results, however, before the session, and although at first glance they do not look bad, they are negatively received by investors (EPS $ 0.32 (consensus $ 0.33); revenues $ 5,213 billion (consensus $ 5,325 billion). We may observe a decrease in revenues and the shares in the before-session trade lost almost 5%. As a rule, Alcoa has little bearing on the behavior of the overall market, but today we may see a slight negative reaction, which is aggravated by the stronger dollar. Trading in the US began with a discount of 0.14%, which after the first transactions slightly increased. Certainly, such behavior of Americans is not conducive to global risk appetite, which may cool the mood in the final phase of the session.

An hour before the close of trading the WIG20 index reached the level of 1,764 points (-0.09%).
