The main US stock indices grew moderately, mainly due to the rise in price of shares of financial and technology companies.

Investors also attracted some attention from the US. The Ministry of Labor said that the initial applications for unemployment benefits, reflecting how many Americans applied for unemployment benefits, increased by 9,000 to 227,000, seasonally adjusted for the week ended June 23, the Ministry of Labor said on Thursday. Economists predicted that the bids would be 220,000. Such estimates are unstable and are often revised later as more data become available. Over the past month, primary treatment increased by an average of 1000 people. This measure, known as the four-week moving average, assumes that the appeals remain exceptionally low, which is additional evidence of the existence of a strong labor market. The consistently low level of layoffs means that employers are constantly keeping their jobs, as it becomes more difficult and difficult to find employees. Unemployment at 3.8% is historically low, and hiring remains constant.

At the same time, economic growth was slower in early 2018 than previously reported by the government. Gross domestic product, reflecting a wide range of goods and services produced in the US, increased seasonally adjusted and adjusted for inflation, at 2% per annum in the first quarter, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. This was weaker than the earlier estimate of growth of 2.2%. Economists forecast growth of 2.2%.
