Major US stock indexes finished trading in the red, the day after the strongest rally in seven months. The pressure on the market was caused by the collapse of IBM stocks against the background of the quarterly report, the fall in the base materials sector, as well as disappointing data on the US housing market.
In September, the rate of housing construction in the United States fell more than expected, since construction activities in the South declined for at least three years, probably held back by Hurricane Florence. Bookmarking new homes fell 5.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,201 million units last month, the Ministry of Commerce reported. The data for August were revised to 1.268 million instead of the previously announced 1.282 million units.
Meanwhile, in the minutes of the September Fed meeting, central bankers signaled that the good state of the economy justified a further increase in interest rates and said they would watch for signs that their actions help to maintain stable economic growth.
Oil prices have fallen significantly, which was caused by the strengthening of the dollar and the publication of data on stocks of petroleum products from the US Department of Energy. The US Department of Energy reported that in the week to October 12, commercial oil reserves increased by 6.5 million barrels. The increase in stocks is recorded for the fourth week in a row. Analysts had expected stocks to rise by 1.278 million barrels.
Most of the components of DOW finished trading in positive territory (19 out of 30). The growth leader was The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS, + 2.79%). Outsiders were the shares of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM, -7.99%).
Most sectors of the S & P recorded a decline. The largest decline was shown by the base materials sector (-1.0%). The financial sector grew the most (+ 0.2%),

Nasdaq 100 7,642.70 -2.79 -0.04%
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) increased by 6.5 million barrels from the previous week. At 416.4 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 2% above the five year average for this time of year.
Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 2.0 million barrels last week and are about 7% above the five year average for this time of year. Finished gasoline inventories increased while blending components inventories decreased last week.
Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 0.8 million barrels last week and are about 3% below the five year average for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories increased by 2.0 million barrels last week and are about 5% below the five year average for this time of year. Total commercial petroleum inventories increased last week by 3.0 million barrels last week.
U.S. stock-index futures indicated a lower open on Wednesday after yesterday's strong rally. Investors remained cautious ahead of the minutes of Federal Reserve's latest meeting, and continued to assess earnings reports.

On Wednesday, the dollar is little changed so far against most major currencies, but rose against the yen, as optimistic earnings on Wall Street improved investor sentiment.
The three major Wall Street indices rose by more than 2%, because blue chips provided high incomes, which indicates that the recovery of the US economy is in full swing, despite the impact of rising interest rates and tensions in world trade.
The data on Tuesday showed that industrial production in the United States increased in September for the fourth month in a row, helped by growth in manufacturing and mining, but growth rates declined sharply in the third quarter.
The dollar index, an indicator of its value against six major currencies, is trading at 95.08 on Wednesday.
The dollar rose 0.13% against the Japanese yen , which was trading at Y112.40 against the dollar. The yen rose seven of eight sessions until Tuesday and reached a monthly high of Y111.61 on Monday.
Buyers expect further signals for the dollar from the minutes of the September meeting of the Federal Reserve System, which will be published later today. Investors are looking for clues about how the interest rate will increase this year.
Interest rate futures indicate a 77% chance that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again at the December meeting, according to the CME Group FedWatch Tool analytic report.
The British pound is trading at $ 1.3187 on Wednesday after it rose 0.25% on Tuesday. While growth was supported by stronger than expected data from the UK labor market, investors still doubt that a European Union summit on Wednesday will provide significant progress on the issue of NI border.

"It's independent so I don't speak to him, but I'm not happy with what he's doing, because it's going too fast," Mr. Trump said in an interview with the Fox Business Network, referring to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, whom he nominated last year.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
