The main US stock indices grew moderately, helped by a rise in the price of shares in the consumer goods sector, as well as Friday labor market data, which gave investors greater confidence that the US economy remains strong.
Meanwhile, today's report from the Conference Board showed that the US employment trends index, which is a set of labor market indicators, declined in May, and interrupted the series of growth that lasted 5 months in a row. According to the data, the May index of employment trends deteriorated to 107.69 points compared to 108.00 points in April (revised from 108.08). This change represents an increase in the index by 3.9 percent compared to the same period in 2017. "The decline in the employment trends index in May is likely a return to the trend after a very rapid increase in recent months, given that the economy is growing significantly above the trend, we expect that steady job growth will continue despite difficulties in filling vacancies, "said Gad Levanon, chief economist for North America in the Conference Board.
Oil prices fell by about 1.5%, as production in the US reached a record level, and OPEC members are considering increasing the supply. Oil production in the US rose to 10.47 million barrels per day in March, which is a monthly record, the Energy Information Administration said last week. Meanwhile, on Friday, Baker Hughes reported that from May 26 to June 1, the number of active oil drilling rigs in the US increased by 2 pieces to 861 units (the highest since mid-March 2015). The number of gas production facilities decreased by 1, to 197 units. The total number of drilling rigs (gas, oil and other) increased by 1, to 1060 units.
Most of the components of DOW have finished trading in positive territory (22 out of 30). Leader of growth were shares of Walmart Inc. (WMT, + 2.94%). Outsider were shares of General Electric Company (GE, -2.84%).
Almost all sectors of S & P recorded a rise. The consumer goods sector grew most (+ 0.9%), while the utilities sector showed the largest decrease (-0.4%).

"As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!."

The sentix economic expectations literally collapse in June. At -13.3 points, expectations are at their lowest level since August 2012! The overall index also falls significantly.
The current economic engine in Europe, the German economy, is also under pressure. For the fifth time in a row, the overall index for Germany has fallen to its lowest level since July 2016.
Internationally, the US economy is proving relatively robust, although the negative expectations of investors here also signal that the USA should not overstretch the curve. The Asia ex Japan region remains a source of hope for the global economy, where only positive expectations can be measured.
Latest PMI data signalled only a modest improvement in UK construction activity midway through the second quarter, with the pace of expansion matching that registered in April. Commercial activity growth accelerated to a threemonth high in May; however, softer expansions in both residential and civil engineering activity were recorded. Furthermore, new order books contracted for the fourth time in the past five months amid general uncertainty in the sector.
At 52.5 in May, the seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS UK Construction Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) remained unchanged since April. The figure was indicative of a moderate increase in total activity, albeit one that was subdued in the context of historical data.
The financial situation of firms further improved, albeit at a slower pace than in the previous survey round. From October 2017 to March 2018, the percentage of euro area SMEs reporting a higher turnover decreased (24%, down from 27%). The moderation in turnover was also reflected in profits, as 4% of euro area SMEs reported increases, down from 5%, in a context of growing labour costs (50%, up from 49%) and other production costs (54%, up from 48%).
The number of unemployed registered in the offices of the Public Employment Services has decreased in May by 83,738 people in relation to the previous month. In seasonally adjusted terms, unemployment has also fallen, in 3,236 people. With respect to May 2017, unemployment has reduced 208,998 people, which puts its year-on-year reduction level at 6.04%. Thus, the total number of unemployed registered is 3,252,130, the lowest since December 2008. This means that since the maximum recorded in February 2013, unemployment has been reduced by 1,788,092 people.
"The United States must, at long last, be treated fairly on Trade. If we charge a country ZERO to sell their goods, and they charge us 25, 50 or even 100 percent to sell ours, it is UNFAIR and can no longer be tolerated. That is not Free or Fair Trade, it is Stupid Trade!"
Australian retail turnover rose 0.4 per cent in April 2018, seasonally adjusted, with cafes, restaurants and takeaways leading the rise assisted by an unusually warm April across much of Australia, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Retail Trade figures.
This follows a relatively unchanged result (0.0 per cent) in March 2018.
"Cafes, restaurants and takeaways (1.3 per cent) led the rises" said Ben James, Director of Quarterly Economy Wide Surveys, "whilst there were also rises in other retailing (0.9 per cent), food retailing (0.3 per cent) and household goods retailing (0.7 per cent). The rises were partially offset by falls in clothing, footwear and personal accessories (-0.8 per cent) and department stores (-0.9 per cent)."
"While industries including Cafes, restaurants and takeaways can benefit from warm weather, there were likely negative impacts for some businesses in clothing, footwear and personal accessories and department stores."
In seasonally adjusted terms, there were rises in New South Wales (0.7 per cent), Victoria (0.3 per cent), Western Australia (0.7 per cent), Queensland (0.1 per cent), the Northern Territory (2.6 per cent), Tasmania (0.9 per cent) and the Australian Capital Territory (0.6 per cent). South Australia (-0.6 per cent) fell in seasonally adjusted terms.
