The previous week was rather boring for financial markets. The news stream connected with economic indicators of the leading countries was weak. Markets are entering the period of summertime slackness, which results in lower volatility. 

Last week, indices of the leading stock platforms across the world did not sustain any noticeable changes. On the whole, American investors were more confident than European ones. Good news for the American market included growing petroleum prices, retail sales in the US rising 1.2% in May and a 2% growth of household wealth in the US in the first quarter of 2015.
