Good Morning!

Trading on October 5 at the American stock markets ended in the green zone. The S&P 500 index rose 1.05% to 4346 points. The Dow Jones added 0.92%, the Nasdaq climbed 1.25%. The leaders of the increase were the financial sector (+ 1.77%). Telecoms (+1.59) and IT companies (+ 1.46%) showed recovery growth after falling on Monday. The outsiders were issuers from the real estate sector (-0.86%).Today world stock markets are showing negative dynamics. The global energy crisis continues to put pressure on stock indices. Higher energy costs increase producer costs and reduce economic growth. The cost of gas in Europe has approached $ 1900 per 1,000 cubic meters, pushing up the prices of blue fuel in the United States. Since the beginning of autumn, gas quotes in the United States have skyrocketed by 44%, to their highest levels since 2014. At the same time, the rate of replenishment of reserves since the beginning of September has exceeded the average five-year values, and the rise in prices occurs during a period of low demand for gas.Black gold quotes are also showing significant growth. Since the beginning of the year, the price of Brent crude oil has increased by almost 60%, reaching highs since 2018. Oil is growing on the back of a strengthening dollar, although the value of commodity assets and the exchange rate of the US currency are usually inversely correlated. The DXY index, which reflects the value of the US dollar against world currencies, has added 4.8% since the beginning of the year.
