The major US stock indexes finished trading in different directions

Major US stock indexes finished the session without a single dynamic: Nasdaq declined, weighed down by the fall of Apple and other companies, while the growth of energy companies and news about further trade negotiations in the US supported the S & P 500 and Dow Industrials.

A certain influence on the course of trading also provided data on the United States. As it became known, in August, producer prices in the US declined for the first time in monthly terms in almost a year and a half. The producer price index, the measure of prices that enterprises receive for their goods and services, declined by a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in August compared to the previous month, the Labor Ministry said on Wednesday. This is the first monthly decline since February 2017, when prices also fell by 0.1%. With the exclusion of often volatile categories of food and energy, prices also fell in August, falling by 0.1%.

Oil futures have appreciably risen in price on Wednesday, thus oil of mark Brent for a short while has overcome a mark $ 80 for barrel. Support for prices was provided by data from the US Energy Ministry, as well as the impending US sanctions against Iran, which added to concerns about global oil supplies.

Most DOW components recorded a rise (18 out of 30). The leader of growth was shares Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA, + 2.41%). Outsider were shares of 3M Company (MMM, -2.42%).

Most sectors of S & P completed the auction in positive territory. The conglomerate sector grew most (+ 1.2%). The largest decrease was shown in the financial sector (-0.4%).

At closing:

Dow 25.998.92 +27.86 +0.11%

S & P 500 2,888.92 +1.03 +0.04%

Nasdaq 100 7,954.23 -18.24 -0.23%
