The main US stock indices grew moderately, helped by the Boeing rally after the publication of the quarterly report, as well as positive data on the US, and the results of the Fed meeting.
The ADP report showed that employment growth in the US private sector slowed in January, but was stronger than projected. According to the report, in January the number of employed increased by 234 thousand people compared with the figure for December at 242 thousand. It was expected that the number of employed will increase by 185 thousand.
In addition, Chicago Purchasing Managers Index fell 2.1 points to 65.7 in January from a revised 67.8 points in December. Despite the fact that in January it lost momentum, the index continued to move in the same direction as in the second half of 2017, which contributes to an encouraging new year. The index has grown by 28.3% since January last year and at the level of 65.7 exceeds the average of the second half of 2017, equal to 63.7.
Contracts for the purchase of previously owned homes in the United States rose for the third consecutive month in December, helped by a healthy labor market. The National Association of Realtors said that its index of unfinished transactions for the sale of housing rose to 110.1 points last month, which is 0.5% more than in November. Economists predicted that the index will increase by 0.4%, following an increase of 0.3% in the previous month (revised from + 0.2%).
As for the Fed meeting, it was decided to leave interest rates unchanged. At the same time, the Fed indicated that it intends to continue the gradual tightening of monetary policy in order to stimulate economic growth. In general, the rhetoric of the statement remained largely unchanged compared to December, indicating a still positive assessment of the prospects for the US economy. It should be noted that this meeting was the last for Fed Chairman Yellen, whose powers expire on Saturday. The new head of the Federal Reserve will be Powell
Most components of the DOW index finished trading in positive territory (17 out of 30). The leader of growth was the shares of The Boeing Company (BA, + 5.31%). Outsider were shares of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, -2.43%).

At 418.4 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are in the middle of the average range for this time of year.
Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 2.0 million barrels last week, and are near the top of the average range. Both blending components and finished gasoline inventories decreased last week.
Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 1.9 million barrels last week and are in the middle of the average range for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories decreased by 0.9 million barrels last week, but are in the middle of the average range. Total commercial petroleum inventories increased by 2.1 million barrels last week.
The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, moved higher 0.5 percent to 110.1 in December from an upwardly revised 109.6 in November. With last month's modest increase, the index is now 0.5 percent above a year ago.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says pending sales edged up in December and reached their highest level since last March (111.3). "Another month of modest increases in contract activity is evidence that the housing market has a small trace of momentum at the start of 2018," he said. "Jobs are plentiful, wages are finally climbing and the prospect of higher mortgage rates are perhaps encouraging more aspiring buyers to begin their search now."
U.S. stock-index futures rose on Wednesday, after two days of sharp declines, boosted by a controversy-free State of Union speech by the U.S. President Donald Trump, with investors turning their focus back to the Fed's monetary policy and corporate segment's quarterly results.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 0.4% in November, with widespread growth across industries as 17 of 20 industrial sectors increased.
Goods-producing industries rose 0.8% after declining 0.5% in October. November's gain was mainly due to increases in the manufacturing and mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction sectors, partly as a result of restoration in production capacity. Meanwhile, services-producing industries rose 0.3%, led by the real estate and rental and leasing, wholesale, and retail trade sectors.
The manufacturing sector was up 1.8% in November, the largest monthly increase since February 2014 as the majority of subsectors grew. Non-durable manufacturing rose 1.1%, while durable manufacturing jumped 2.5%.
Private sector employment increased by 234,000 jobs from December to January according to the January ADP National Employment Report.
"We've kicked off the year with another month of unyielding job gains," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "Service providers were firing on all cylinders, posting their strongest gain in more than a year. We also saw robust hiring from midsize and large companies, while job growth in smaller firms slowed slightly."

The EU28 unemployment rate was 7.3% in December 2017, stable compared to November 2017 and down from 8.2% in December 2016. This remains the lowest rate recorded in the EU28 since October 2008.
Euro area annual inflation is expected to be 1.3% in January 2018, down from 1.4% in December 2017, according to a flash estimate from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
Looking at the main components of euro area inflation, energy is expected to have the highest annual rate in January (2.1%, compared with 2.9% in December), followed by food, alcohol & tobacco (1.9%, compared with 2.1% in December), services (1.2%, stable compared with December) and non-energy industrial goods (0.6%, compared with 0.5% in December).

Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 1.4% in January 2018 after +1.2% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of January 2018. This increase in the year-on-year inflation should come from an acceleration in services prices and in energy prices and a slight rebound in "manufactured product" prices whereas food and tobacco should slow down.
Over one month, consumer prices should edge down by 0.1% after +0.3% in December. Energy prices should sharply accelerate because of the increase in Brent crude and in taxation. Food prices should rise slightly. On the other hand, "manufactured product" prices should fell back significantly, due to the beginning of winter sales. Tobacco prices shoud edge down. Lastly, services prices should slow down.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should increase faster than in the previous month (+1.5% after +1.2% in December). Over one month, it should edge down: −0.1% after +0.4%.

After some of the biggest declines in several months Tuesday, indexes in Australia XJO, +0.34% , Hong Kong and South Korea SEU, +0.94% turned higher, gaining as much as much as 0.5%.

U.S. stocks sold off for a second straight session on Tuesday, with the Dow suffering its biggest one-day drop in eight months, as heavy losses in health-care and energy shares weighed on the main indexes.

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.
