Stock indices closed lower after comments by the Fed Chair Yellen and due to rising tensions in Ukraine. Janet Yellen said that the U.S. labour market is not yet fully recovered. But she added that the U.S. labour market was improving. The Fed Chair Yellen offered no signal when the Fed will start to raise its interest rate.
Investors speculate that the Fed may hike its interest rate sooner than expected.
Tensions over Ukraine also weighed on markets. Ukraine said Russian humanitarian aid trucks crossed the Ukrainian border without being accompanied by the Red Cross.
The European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will also speak in Jackson Hole later in the day, but the European markets will be closed.
No major economic reports were released in the Eurozone.

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.
