Overview of the main drivers: Stock indices and oil

The main European stock indices show mixed dynamics in the course of trading on Thursday. The British FTSE 100 declined by about -0.37%, thereby providing additional support to the pound against the US dollar. DAX and CAC 40 on the average add to the quotes of about 0.27%, thereby inhibiting the stronger growth of the single currency against the American. See Quotations

Oil prices move in a narrow range above zero marks,  on the average adding about 0.15% to the price, thus providing little support to commodity currencies against the US dollar in anticipation of data on oil and petroleum products in the States. See “Oil (current news)“
