Meanwhile, studies have shown that the current conditions index also rose , registering the third consecutive monthly gain .

In addition, the Statistical Office Eurostat reported that the trade surplus of the euro zone unexpectedly , and at the same time is drastically reduced in the month of July , which was associated with a marked drop in exports (for the third time in four months ) , and almost the same volume of imports . According to the report , the seasonally adjusted trade surplus fell in July to a level of 11.1 billion euros, compared with a revised downward from the previous month at 13.5 billion euros.

It is learned from the Office for National Statistics , at the end of last month, the growth of annual inflation slowed again , registering the second monthly decline in a row, which was primarily due to a slower increase in transportation costs.

According to the report , in the month of August consumer price index rose by 2.7 % per annum , compared with an increase of 2.8 % in July. Add that final reading fully confirmed the experts' forecasts . In addition, it was reported that on a monthly basis the consumer price index rose 0.4 % , after the previous month, it remained unchanged. Many experts expect that the value of this index will rise by 0.5 %.

Meanwhile, core inflation, which excludes the cost of energy , food, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products remained unchanged in August - at the level of 2 % , confounding economists' expectations for a moderate increase to 2.1 %.

Meanwhile, another report from the Office for National Statistics showed that producer prices inflation slowed markedly in August , indicating a weakening of inflationary pressures.

The data showed that the index of producer prices rose in August by 1.6 % per annum , compared with an increase of 2.1% a month earlier. Experts estimate the growth of this index was up 1.8%. In monthly terms, wholesale prices rose by 0.1 %, which followed a 0.2 percent increase in July. It was assumed that the growth will be 0.2 %.

West Texas Intermediate crude slid for a third day as a U.S. agreement with Russia to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons reduced supply risk and on speculation that the Federal Reserve will start tapering stimulus measures.

Prices fell as much as 1 percent. Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. isn’t softening its opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by making a diplomatic deal.

Gold prices have stabilized slightly above the five-week low , as investors await news from the Fed about the reduction incentive program .

From the beginning, gold fell by more than 20 per cent as the growing U.S. economy has made the precious metal less attractive as a low-risk assets .

According to economists, the two-day meeting, which will begin on Tuesday , the Fed will reduce the amount of buying bonds of at least $ 10 billion a month from the current $ 85 billion .

Given the current economic situation in the U.S., experts expect only a small reduction in incentives. Therefore, gold will continue to receive support . At the same time, if the Fed does not reduce incentives this year , experts believe that gold at the end of the year will cost $ 1.400-1.500 per ounce.

A peaceful solution to the Syrian problem had a negative impact on the gold market , but the message that former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers , withdrew his candidacy for the post of chairman of the Fed, prices will rise , analysts said.

The cost of the October futures on the COMEX gold is trading today in the range of $ 1306.70 - $ 1323.60 per ounce.

The dollar traded 0.4 percent from its lowest level in almost three weeks against the euro as investors await a decision on U.S. monetary policy from Federal Reserve officials beginning a two-day meeting today. The Federal Open Market Committee will probably decide to slow its monthly bond purchases to $75 billion from $85 billion, according to the median estimate of economists in a Bloomberg News survey on Sept. 6.

The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index was near a five-week low after the exit of Lawrence Summers from consideration to be the next Fed chairman fueled speculation the central bank will take a more gradual approach to scaling back bond purchases that tend to debase the currency. Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen is the leading candidate to replace Ben S. Bernanke following the withdrawal of Summers from consideration, a person familiar with the process said.

The euro climbed against the yen before a report that may show investor confidence in Germany climbed to a half-year high. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim will probably say today its index of German investor and analyst expectations, which aims to predict economic developments six months in advance, climbed to 45 this month from 42 in August, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg poll. If confirmed, that would be the highest since March.

There is a full calendar on both sides of the Atlantic Tuesday, although the main event over the next two days is undoubtedly the 2-day FOMC meeting and any announcement Wednesday of any "tapering." The European calendar will see the Spanish second quarter labour cost survey released at 0700GMT. Central bank speakers are then to the fore. At 0730GMT, ECB Governing Council member Erkki Liikanen will hold a press conference on monetary policy, in Helsinki. At 0830GMT, ECB Executive Board member Peter Praet will deliver a speech at an LSE conference on regulation, in London. Further European data is set to be released at 0800GMT, when the EMU July current account numbers will be released. At 0900GMT, the EMU July trade balance will be released. Also due at 0900GMT, Germany's September ZEW survey is set for publication. Expectations are for a rise to 20.0 in the current situation, up from 18.3 in August. Expectations are seen rising to 45 from 42. ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny will sit in on discussions about banking union, in Vienna, starting at 0945GMT. Back in Europe, at 1700GMT, ECB Executive Board member Peter Praet will participate in a panel discussion on the banking union, in Brussels.

There is a raft of UK data set for release at 0830GMT, focusing on both CPI and PPI inflation data. CPI inflation is likely to have moved a little closer to the Bank of England's 2% target in August after British Retail Consortium data showed prices fell during the month. A fall to 2.7% would take the CPI rate below the 2.8% forecast for August in the BOE's most recent Inflation Report. In terms of producer prices, both input and output price growth is likely to have eased slightly in August as a result of the recent rise in sterling. Also expected is the official UK July house price data.
