Last week turned out to be rather positive for investors. The American indices set new historical record-highs again, while the British FTSE 100 Index finished the previous week well in the “green zone.”

On the whole, the previous week was not much abundant in news, while the US market worked a shortened working week. Good news about the situation on the labor market gave an impetus to American trading platforms. According to data of ADP Research Institute, a branch organization, the number of jobs in the private sector of the US grew 281,000 in June, while the market forecast an average increase by 205,000 jobs. Investors preferred this news to not very optimistic data on the dynamics of industrial and non-industrial output in June.
