Major U.S. stock-indexes indexes got off to their worst start this year on Thursday after Donald Trump gave little clarity on his promises for economic growth that had powered a record-breaking rally on Wall Street for two months. The U.S. President-elect, in his first news conference on Wednesday, gave no details on tax cuts or infrastructure spending, and instead lashed out at U.S. spy agencies and news agencies over what he called a 'phony' Russia dossier. He also blasted pharmaceutical companies over high drug prices, causing health stocks to snap a six-day winning streak and a wobble in Wall Street.

Yesterday's event of the day was the press conference of President-elect Donald Trump. During the conference, the US stock indices fluctuated, but at the end of trading advantage was taken over by shares buyers and as a result Wednesday's session on Wall Street ended with pros. The Dow Jones Industrial rose at the close by 0.50 percent, the S&P 500 by 0.28 percent and the Nasdaq Comp. went up by 0.21 percent.

After two sessions of heavily discount went up crude oil prices. On the stock market in New York this raw material lost on Monday and Tuesday totally 5.9 percent. Both Brent and WTI rallied on Wednesday more than 3 percent despite the fact that crude oil inventories in the US rose last week above expectations. After the conference weakened the dollar.

On the Asian markets this morning is weaker Japanese Nikkei, also China is dominated by the color red. In addition go down contracts in the United States, which in practice reflect the majority of yesterday's positive achievements. Given the above, opening in Europe is not going to be too optimistic.
