Major US stock indices showed mixed dynamics on Wednesday, as the growth of shares in the health sector was countered by the fall in quotations of the main materials sector.
In addition, as it became known, in May, home sales in the secondary market in the US unexpectedly rose to the third highest monthly level in a decade, and the chronic shortage of stocks pushed the median price of housing to a record level. The National Association of Realtors said that home sales in the secondary market grew by 1.1% to 5.62 million units, taking into account seasonal fluctuations last month. Economists predicted that sales would fall to 5.55 million.
Oil prices fell by more than 2%, the reason for which were the continuing concerns about the oversaturation of the market. Since the beginning of this year, oil futures have lost about 20% of their value, which is the worst result for the first six months of the year since 1997. Compliance with the agreement between OPEC and other producers to reduce production by 1.8 million barrels per day reached the highest level in May since the signing of this pact, namely 106%. This means that they cut production more than necessary. Compliance with the agreement by OPEC members was 108%, and among non-OPEC countries, it was 100%. Nevertheless, the global reserves of crude oil and petroleum products remain significantly higher than their long-term average values.
Most components of the DOW index recorded a decline (18 out of 30). Most fell shares of Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, -3.46%). Leader of the growth were shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE, + 1.80%).
Most sectors of the S & P index showed a decline. Most of all fell the sector of basic materials (-1.1%). The leader of growth was the healthcare sector (+ 1.3%).

U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased by 2.5 million barrels from the previous week. At 509.1 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are in the upper half of the average range for this time of year.
Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 0.6 million barrels last week, but are above the upper limit of the average range. Finished gasoline inventories decreased while blending components inventories increased last week.
Distillate fuel inventories increased by 1.1 million barrels last week and are above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories increased by 1.8 million barrels last week but are in the lower half of the average range. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by 1.9 million barrels last week.
Existing-home sales rebounded in May following a notable decline in April, and low inventory levels helped propel the median sales price to a new high while pushing down the median days a home is on the market to a new low, according to the National Association of Realtors. All major regions except for the Midwest saw an increase in sales last month.
Total existing-home sales,, which are completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, climbed 1.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.62 million in May from a downwardly revised 5.56 million in April. Last month's sales pace is 2.7 percent above a year ago and is the third highest over the past year

The Stoxx Europe 600 Oil and Gas Index SXEP, -2.18% was shoved 2.2% lower, losing the most since November as West Texas Intermediate oil futures CLN7, -1.95% and Brent crude futures LCOQ7, -0.17% swung lower by about 3%.
U.S. stocks finished lower Tuesday as investors dumped energy shares after crude-oil prices sank into bear-market territory. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.67% dropped 16.43 points, or 0.7%, to close at 2,437.03, with nine of the 11 main sectors trading lower. The energy sector was down 1.3%, topping the losers.
Stocks were lower across the Asia-Pacific region early Wednesday, as global price declines for oil hurt energy companies, though mainland markets were resilient after MSCI Inc. said it would include Chinese stocks in its emerging-markets index. Oil prices returned to bear-market territory overnight and the U.S. benchmark has fallen 20% from its last high point, with cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries offset by increasing production elsewhere.
