Last week, indices of the leading stock platforms across the world continued going down. Pessimistic moods won among investors regardless of the fact that the news stream related to economic indicators of the US and the euro-area was positive in general.

For the entire previous week, American investors expected indicators of the labor market, which should have come out on Friday. The indicators turned out to be very good and exceeded expectations. According to data of the US Department of Labor, the number of new jobs in the country’s economy grew 295,000 in February 2015. Experts polled by the Bloomberg agency expected this indicator to grow 235,000 jobs on the average. The rate of unemployment in the US dropped to 5.5% in February 2015 from 5.7% a month earlier. Analysts expected this indicator to inch down to 5.6%.
