The Market is Waiting for Additional Drivers

The USA continues to publish mixed statistics. In April, private consumption expenditure increased by 0.2%. Experts expected the growth of the rate by 0.1%. At the same time, the consumer confidence index (May) fell by 1.2% to 117.9. The probability of an increase in the Fed's interest rate in June is quite high (more than 80%).
