- The market interpreted the stronger ADP data as even more difficult to interpret data for the Fed, which may have reservations about easing its policy in the face of the still quite solid change in employment among private companies and the growth in inflation expectations. ADP report from the USA: 155 thousand. (Forecast 120k, Previous 77k. Revision to 84k)
- The unexpected increase in US oil inventories, which, according to the weekly EIA report, increased by 6.16 million barrels (versus the expected decrease of -2 million barrels), does not stop the gains in the prices of commodity futures.
