Session Summary 05.06.2017

End of last week brings new highs on European and American stock markets. Data from US labor market turned out to be slightly worse than forecasts, but not enough weak to spoil sentiment on the markets. Employment in the non-farm sector was 138K, with a forecast of 185K. Unemployment rate dropped slightly again and in May it was 4.3% vs forecast 4.4%. The hourly wage has grown by 0.2% and was in line with market forecasts. The Fed goal is to increase jobs number by 100-150K, so the data fits expectations of Federal Reserve. Patrick Harker, president of Fed in Philadelphia, said on Friday that he still thinks the Federal Reserve should raise interest rates twice more this year.
