Major US stock indices showed a noticeable increase after data from ADP indicated a stronger growth in employment in the private sector of the US, which in turn increased the chances of raising the Fed's interest rate later this month.
According to the ADP report, in May the number of employees increased by 253 thousand people compared to the revised downward indicator for April at 174 thousand (originally reported growth of 177 thousand). Analysts had expected that the number of employed will increase by 185 thousand.
At the same time, the report of the Ministry of Labor showed that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits increased more than expected last week, but growth probably does not signal a significant shift in labor market conditions, as applications in several States, including California. According to the report, primary applications for unemployment benefits jumped 13 thousand to 248 thousand, seasonally adjusted for the week ending May 27.
At the same time, the seasonally adjusted final index of PMI in the US industry from IHS Markit was 52.7 in May and was less than 52.8 in April.
In addition, the report published by the ISM showed: in May, activity in the US manufacturing sector improved despite the average forecasts of experts. The PMI index for the manufacturing sector was 54.9 points against 54.8 points in April. Analysts had expected that this figure would drop to 54.5 points.
Most components of the DOW index finished trading in positive territory (24 out of 30). The leader of growth was UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH, + 2.38%). Most fell shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE, -1.41%).
All sectors of the S & P index recorded an increase. The growth leader was the conglomerate sector (+ 1.5%).
