During the previous week, the leading stock platforms largely won back the losses of the previous month. The market was heated up by swift growth of petroleum prices, which jumped almost 10% over the previous week.

There were no significant fundamental factors for growth on markets in the course of the previous week. As before, the market has no consensus regarding the timeline when the US Federal Reserve System (FRS) will make the decision to raise the federal funds rate: in December of the current year or will wait until the beginning of the next year. In the course of the previous week, there were few publications of statistical information that could have influenced trends on stock markets to move upwards or downwards.
