Last week, the leading stock trading platforms began to get out of the quiet mode, and markets became more dynamic. Noticeable turbulence could be observed on the American stock market.

The US indices crumbled dramatically on Monday, 13 January, because of poor expectations of corporate reporting. However, this dip did not last long. On the next day, these losses were won back “with interest” thanks to good statistical data on retail trade in the US. On Wednesday, 15 January, the S&P 500 Index set a new record-high. However, over the next days, this index adjusted and lost 0.2% by the end of the previous week.
