The US currency weakened slightly against a basket of major currencies. Yesterday, a report on the JOLTS job openings was published, the figure counted to 7.009M and was worse than the expected value of 7.100M. The dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.05%). Investors have taken a wait-and-see attitude before the Fed meeting, which will begin today and last two days. Tomorrow, the regulator will have to decide on a key interest rate. Experts expect that the regulator will leave the figure at the same level of 2.00%-2.25%.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, reports on the labor market of New Zealand were also published. Thus, the \u201cemployment change\u201d figure increased by 1.1% in the third quarter, while investors expected +0.5%. The unemployment rate declined to 3.9% in the third quarter instead of 4.4%. Today, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will decide on the interest rate. Experts forecast that the interest rate will remain unchanged at 1.75%. The pound shows positive dynamics against optimistic news about Brexit.<\/p>\n

The “black gold” prices have declined significantly. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing a mark of $61.80 per barrel. At 17:30, a report on the US crude oil inventories will be published.<\/p>\n

Market Indicators<\/h2>\n

Yesterday, the main US stock indices showed positive dynamics: #SPY (+0.63%), #DIA (+0.69%), #QQQ (+0.67%).<\/p>\n

At the moment, the 10-year US government bonds yield is at the level of 3.19-3.20%.<\/p>
